The Seattle chapter was recently treated to a seminar given by Steinway's
Kent Webb at the local Sherman Clay. Great information -- and at the time I
was struck by measurements being uttered in 32ndths, thousandths, and mm all
in the same sentence!

  regards,

  Bernhard,
  Even tho, I have spoken out against Metric, many times, I agree with you.
However, until olde farts, like me, that were only taught "English Measure"
and "Machinist's Measure", (which is a decimal equivalent of English
Measure), pass on to the great Concert Hall in the sky, there will be this
controversy. Most schools, in the US, are now teaching Metric and soon the
problem will be solved. Many consumer goods, in the US are in Metric. Not
all, tho, so the problem still exists. I truly wish my brain could wrap
around the Metric concept, but it doesn't. Believe me, I try, on a daily
basis, to use Metric. It's an uphill battle! :-( The one area that brings
great amusement is the lumber industry. I don't think there will ever be
anything other than a 2x4, etc.<G>
