    For example, each additional 1000 feet adds 2 × π × 1000 ≈ 6,283 feet (1.0340 nautical miles) around the whole Earth. In other words, each kilometre altitude increases the distance by 15.7 cm, per kilometre travelled. The higher efficiency far exceeds the negligible distance added. [citation needed]

[6] However, in 1987 BSI updated the standard to the metric system so that one alphabetical size division equals 1.25 mm of circumferential length. For a baseline, ring size C has a circumference of 40 mm. [7]
