Regulating With Metrics

[reggaepass at aol.com]

We have long used metric exclusively for regulating in our shop.  However, the thousandth of an inch is still very handy for really small measurements and distinctions, so we refuse to part with it!

 Regulating with metrics has always seemed like such a natural way to do it.  Maybe it's because I work on more Asian and European pianos than American built instruments, and all of the instruction and other printed material I've seen was metric in nature.  Dividing and multiplying into 1s, 10s and 100s is far simpler for me than doing the same operations by 64ths, 32nds, 16ths, etc., etc.

A hearty amen. When going through
engineering school we primarily used metrics and even when I worked in design
in industry.  It sure did make the calculations easier.
