2. Letter (paper size) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_(paper_size)

   The precise origins of the dimensions of US letter-size paper (8.5 × 11 in) are not known. The American Forest & Paper Association says that the standard US dimensions have their origin in the days of manual papermaking, the 11-inch length of the standard paper being about a quarter of "the average maximum stretch of an experienced vatman's arms".

3. Label - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Label

   Laser or printer labels are generally die cut on 8.5" x 11" (US letter) or A4 sized sheets, and come in many different shapes, sizes, [10] formats and materials. Laser label material is a nonporous stock made to withstand the intense heat of laser printers and copiers.

4. Paper size - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size

   The weight of an A-series sheet of a given paper weight can be calculated by knowing the ratio of its size to the A0 sheet. For example, an A4 sheet is 1 ⁄ 16 the size of an A0 sheet, so if it is made from 80 g/m 2 paper, it weighs 1 ⁄ 16 of 80 g, which is 5 g.

   Similarly, two sheets of A4 can be scaled down to fit one A4 sheet without excess empty paper. This system also simplifies calculating the weight of paper. Under ISO 536 , paper's grammage is defined as a sheet's mass in grams (g) per area in square metres (unit symbol g/m 2 ; the nonstandard abbreviation "gsm" is also used). [ 5 ]

   8-inch floppy disk, inserted in drive, (3½-inch floppy diskette, in front, shown for scale) 3½-inch, high-density floppy diskettes with adhesive labels affixed The first commercial floppy disks, developed in the late 1960s, were 8 inches (203.2 mm) in diameter; [4] [5] they became commercially available in 1971 as a component of IBM products and both drives and disks were then sold ...

7. Neodymium magnet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium_magnet

   This magnetic energy value is about 18 times greater than "ordinary" ferrite magnets by volume and 12 times by mass. This magnetic energy property is higher in NdFeB alloys than in samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnets, which were the first type of rare-earth magnet to be commercialized. In practice, the magnetic properties of neodymium magnets depend ...
