   A child's size zero is equivalent to 4 inches (a hand = 12 barleycorns = 10.16 cm), and the sizes go up to size 13 + 1 ⁄ 2 (measuring 25 + 1 ⁄ 2 barleycorns, or 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (21.59 cm)). Thus, the calculation for a children's shoe size in the UK is: child shoe size (barleycorns) = 3 × last length (in) − 12. equivalent to:

   1- or 2-digit/letter combination: Speed rating; see table below. Additional marks: see subheading below. As an example, if a tire size has two sets of numbers (6-12, 5.00-15, 11.2-24), then the first number (5.00-15) is the approximate width in inches, and the second number (5.00-15) is the rim diameter in inches.

   By default, the output value is rounded to adjust its precision to match that of the input. An input such as 1234 is interpreted as 1234 ± 0.5, while 1200 is interpreted as 1200 ± 50, and the output value is displayed accordingly, taking into account the scale factor used in the conversion.

6. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

   The factor–label method can convert only unit quantities for which the units are in a linear relationship intersecting at 0 (ratio scale in Stevens's typology). Most conversions fit this paradigm. An example for which it cannot be used is the conversion between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale (or the Fahrenheit scale). Between degrees ...

7. Gear inches - Wikipedia

   When the high wheeler or penny-farthing was the "ordinary" bicycle form, the comparative diameter in inches of the driven wheel was an indication of relative speed and effort. A 60-inch wheel propelled a bicycle faster than a 50-inch wheel when both were cranked at the same cadence. The technology of the high wheeler imposed a natural limit—a ...
