I enjoyed reviewing these materials. Thanks for sharing them. It bears repeated viewing and reference to fully grasp the content. It brings to mind the aircraft structure schematics I saw while working at Grumman Aerospace back in the 80's. Cool seeing the Mustang reduced to its skeletal structure; it's nice to know what's under its pretty skin!

It's funny that most large manufacturers use SI unit instead of English unit. Even most universities/colleges, if not all, teach engineering with SI unit yet it's not common in public.

Not really 'funny'...we are in America, and that's what we use....

Btw, we don't put mayo on our french fries, either...among millions of other cultural norms...

I think that now that most designs are going "global", those of us in the US are getting socialized to going both ways, we have metric and English tools, where the rest of the world is purely metric. With that, it makes more sense for design teams to speak in metric only to avoid any confusion and possible missed compatibility. That is my thought.

Nor Vinegar for the most part either. At least in Canada (Quebec) they have evolved to serve "Belgian Fries" covered in delicious cheese and brown gravy called Poutine,yumm. Now thats "Canadian" Exceptionalism!:paddle:

Everything is ok with only (one) exception. Putting Ketchup on a natural casing all-beef Nathans Famous or Sabrette Hot Dog is a crime against nature.
