The Greek foot (πούς, pous) had a length of 1 / 600 of a stadion, [12] one stadion being about 181.2 m (594 ft); [13] therefore a foot was, at the time, about 302 mm (11.9 in). Its exact size varied from city to city and could range between 270 mm (10.6 in) and 350 mm (13.8 in), but lengths used for temple construction appear to ...
Sn3½ is also used to represent 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm), as the gauge is the same as HO scale. HOm uses the same 12mm gauge track to represent metre-gauge (3ft3.37in) railways. HOn3 uses 10.5 mm ( 0.413 in ) gauge to represent 3 ft ( 914 mm ) gauge railways H0e /HOn30 uses 9 mm ( 0.354 in ) gauge to represent railway with gauges of about 750 ...
Trams in Dresden, Germany use 1,450 mm (4 ft 9 + 3 ⁄ 32 in). 1,445 mm (4 ft 8 + 7 ⁄ 8 in) gauge is in use on several urban rail transit systems in Europe: Trams in Italy; Madrid Metro (only metro system. Light rail system uses standard gauge.) The MTR in Hong Kong uses 1,432 mm (4 ft 8 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) gauge on lines owned by the MTR Corporation.
The line from Cartagena to Los Blancos was originally 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in), but was converted to 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) in 1976, at the same time as the line was extended to Los Nietos.

There are anecdotal objections to the use of metric units in carpentry and the building trades, on the basis that it is easier to remember an integer number of inches plus a fraction, rather than a measurement in millimeters, [9] or that foot-inch measurements are more suitable when distances are frequently divided into halves, thirds, and ...
