looks like a not quite full Tsp to me...


Personally, I'll be glad to use any ONE system.  Please, OH! PLEASE!, 
manufacturers of »anything« : DON'T MIX SYSTEMS IN ONE UNIT OF ANYTHING!!!

Back in the 50's, I started working on cars helping my father with his MG 
TD.  Most of it was "English " system, but the engine had Whitworth.
In the '60s and 70s, I had Saabs. The V4 engine (made in England) had 
English fasteners, while the rest was metric.
My first Chevrolet alleged "truck" a.k.a. LUV, since it was basically an 
Isuzu, was mostly metric, but not all.
I'm sure that my current Chevy S10 is also a mix...  I'm scared to look.

I have SAE, metric and Whitworth tools, but please don't make me have to 
bring all three sets!
Ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

If we use gram weights, why not use mm for other regulation specs?
