Hi Dan,
            Get your self a digital caliper, you will love it, press the
button for mm.
I no longer have to squint, and add 25,50 or 75, to some thing that I have
difficulty reading.  Hell I only have 10 fingers.
It is a lot faster to use, and almost dummy proof.
I think BSWG and AS are the same.
Today I checked the complete set of Roslau and Mapes wire today, the german
wire was .0005" thinner on each gauge.
