Metric

[Avery Todd]

List,

   Thanks to all those who responded to my question. Once again I didn't
make myself quite clear. I had in mind converting a micrometer measurement
of, say, .063 to mm. I believe Howard & Al Jeschke gave me what I need.
   If I'm correct, the above measurement would convert to 1.600 mm. Correct?
(FYI, I'm checking some bass string core wire measurements.) Thanks again.

Avery
