Harry, on his 2004 visit to the U.S., our friend and long-time USMA member Mike Joy brought me an 8 m metal tape measure from Australia that is in millimeters only, made by the Hammer company. On his last visit, he brought me one of those multi-segment, folding wooden rulers, length 2 m, made by the Bauer company in Germany that is metric only. It is labeled Bauer Model 400.

I looked on the company site (starrett.com) and only could find a dual measure version, although there seem to be a few metric only longer tapes. Pretty annoying! http://www.starrett.com/saws/product-detail?k=530-15CM http://www.starrett.com/saws/product-detail?k=MY1-8ME HARRY WYETH
