  2. 2 mm scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_mm_scale

    2 mm scale, often 2 mm finescale is a specification used for railway modelling, [1] largely for modelling British railway prototypes. [citation needed] It uses a scale of 2 mm on the model to 1 foot on the prototype, which scales out to 1:152. [1] The track gauge used to represent prototype standard gauge (4 feet 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) is 9.42 mm ...

    The recent formula used by the Brannock device assumes a foot length of 2 barleycorns less than the length of the last; thus, men's size 1 is equivalent to a last's length of 8 + 1 ⁄ 3 in (21.17 cm) and foot's length of 7 + 2 ⁄ 3 in (19.47 cm), and children's size 1 is equivalent to 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (10.8 cm) last's length and 3 + 7 ⁄ 12 in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brannock_Device

    Brannock spent two years developing a simple means of measuring the length, width, and arch length of the human foot. He eventually improved on the wooden RITZ Stick, the industry standard of the day, [ 2 ] patenting his first prototype in 1925 [ 3 ] and an improved version in 1927. [ 1 ]

  5. Foot (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_(unit)

    In both customary and imperial units, one foot comprises 12 inches, and one yard comprises three feet. Since an international agreement in 1959, the foot is defined as equal to exactly 0.3048 meters. Historically, the "foot" was a part of many local systems of units, including the Greek, Roman, Chinese, French, and English systems. It varied in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_model_(gaming)

    One scale foot is equivalent to approximately 12/200 of an inch, 0.06 inches and 1.524 millimetres. One scale yard is equivalent to approximately 1/36 of an inch, 0.18 inches and 4.572 millimetres. Figure scale is 8 mm generally squared off to 1/190 – 1/220 scale.

  8. Inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch

    The United States adopted the conversion factor 1 metre = 39.37 inches by an act in 1866. [30] In 1893, Mendenhall ordered the physical realization of the inch to be based on the international prototype metres numbers 21 and 27, which had been received from the CGPM, together with the previously adopted conversion factor. [31]
