It's certainly an easy conversion for a computer to make. Assuming, of course, that the measurements come in decimal inches, not fraction. Surely there is no longer any reasonable excuse for measuring a stringing scale in fractions of an inch. I use an Excel spreadsheet that has evolved over many years. I can take measurements in either inch or metric measurements, but I greatly prefer metric. When I furnish data for the string winder, those measurements are usually in inch measurements and correspond directly to the actual wire sizes commonly in use by US string winders. Del
