I can't now remember exactly what it was but even fairly recently there was some massive space related cockup and upon investigation it turned out that half the American engineers has calculated using imperial, the other half metric and no-one had realisedCables are fine guv, you didn't didn't tell us it was in metric/imperial
So what units do these Yanks actually work in? I know it's inches, but is it inches, 1/10, 1/100, 1/1000 etc., which is effectively the metric system, but with a different reference length, or do they actually use yards, feet, inches, 1/4, 1/8, etc.
If it's the latter, it's no wonder mistakes occur.
Cheeky fxxxxx! Fair point though!
My 37m error cost me £196 which I took on the chin. Imagine what these guys are out of pocket by!
