I always wondered who's feet they used to develop the original foot
(as
in 12"). Human feet vary greatly in size. Of course children have
shorter feet and women usually do also.

I have an American made AA5 in the shop that is also
graduated in wavelength rather than frequency.
But my personal favorite is one with 1500 on the left and
550 on the right.

I have radios marked 0-10 or 0-100. They're fun to use.

This degenerated, but I do like the ability to estimate with body parts. 300 mm does nothing for me mentally. 30.0 cm does a better job.
The TS/OP can 3D print a part. Also look for ones that have already been done.

Good thing there was no problem with changing from " cps, kcps & Mcps "
to " Hz, kHz and MHz ".
Every car I can remember being in here in the US of A for quite a numberAs to KM vs. Miles - sheesh! I have driven in 8 countries on three continents. Only one uses MPH. One is courteous enough to put up the signs in both in many locations (Saudi), and one does so on main highways (Both of them - Bahrain). It is _REALLY_ hard to remember that 62.5 MPH = 100 KPH, and that 75 MPH = 120 KPH. And so on and so forth.

About a decade ago, I was told that in Ireland the road distances are posted in km whilst the speed limits are given in mph. When I asked a few years ago, I was assured that this was still true. However, from my point of view, this is just hearsay since I have not actually witnessed it.

That means that you got all the arrogance we got plus about 14 % more.
Just because we run everything, manage everything, own everything, and
control everything, doesn't mean we have to arrogant about it. Being
arrogant in public is a quick ticket to an immediate downfall,
something Jews are well aware of. We may be the smartest, best, most
powerful, and most knowledgeable, but it would stupid to mention it in
public. It tends to attract attention, something we really don't need
or want.

We (UK) have the Magna Carta. While its provisions are few, one of them is more than a little important.

I was looking at a presentation on and of Magna Carta in Salisbury on
Wednesday. (Unconnected with the fuss about the poisoning of a russian
spy, his daughter and a policeman in that city last weekend.)
IIRC less than 10% of its provisions are still encoded in current law
according to the modern translation.
XXIX. NO Freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or be disseised of his Freehold, or Liberties, or free Customs, or be outlawed, or exiled, or any other wise destroyed; nor will We not pass upon him, nor condemn him, but by lawful judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the land. We will sell to no man, we will not deny or defer to any man either Justice or Right.[228]

You must be a very happy individual.
In 1215:
Nobles and the Church held 75% of the land in England, and were less than 1% of the population.
As follows:
Class Holdings % of Population
Nobles & Church 75% <0.1%
Freemen 19% 10%
Villiens <1% 41%
Bordars <5% 32% (House-Villiens more-or-less)
Slaves 0% 7%
Now, let's see some more blather about how the Magna Carta was such a wonderful document when it applied to less than 11% of the population. Seminal, perhaps. But as written and as applied at the time, it kept the villiens in their place and the landowners in theirs.
Taking things out of context and in what appears to be complete ignorance of historical conditions and facts generally not a good practice.

I think you'll find that extract applied to everyone, and still does.

I do not think so. "Freeman" was a specific term-of-art at the time (the Latin liber homo) meaning an individual unencumbered by servitude or obligations to a lord or land-owner. NOT a serf (Villien), House-Serf (Bordar) or slave. Freemen could own land, farm it in their own right, 'own' villiens, even Bordars and slaves. Villiens, Bordars or slaves could not and were obligated to their lords.
A Villien was, by definition, not free, but a Freeman could descend into Villieny by loss-of-land or position.
The Magna-Carta as a great emancipation document is wishful thinking. It was a brilliant move by Henry III to define, solidify and enhance his power by seeming to give up something he did not want and did not affect him in any case. Latter day interpretations are much as latter-day interpretations of the US Constitution - as justifications for laws and behaviors that would have evolved in any case and/or would be self-evident were issues of politics, race, class and religion not contaminating human behavior.
Note that Henry lasted 52 years after the latest version of the MC was signed (by him) in 1225. A long time, indeed.
