10-penny nail is 7.62 cm long, or as we say it, 3 inches. But I prefer to build with deck screws; a power tool is involved, and I don't have to hit it straight.

The metric system doesn't really impress me any more that does the Imperial system. Whatever you're used to working with, works just fine. I don't see advantage in one system of measurement over another, but there are number systems which have obvious benefits. The binary number system for Boolean algebra seems the only good fit for instance. Anyone know how big a 10-penny nail is? ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ Ralph McDiarmid | Schneider Electric | Solar Business | CANADA | Regulatory Compliance Engineering - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
