And I still find it faintly obscure that IC pins are spaced at a tenth of an inch....where does that come from?
Older hams this side will recall school exercise books which had all the imperial measurements printed on the back.  Horse racing still deals with furlongs (the length of a furrow...) and cricket pitches are a chain (22yds) "ten chains = one furlong".  Ah, Happy Days!

I am wondering if we are not getting off topic... I am not sure all these
metric stuff has to do with Elecraft radios.

Hello!

Yes it has, because is almost impossible to find replacment hardware (screw)
for Elecraft radio in central Europe (But it can be ordered from Elecraft of
course!!!) :)))
JA's use metric stuff and is much easier.
And homebrewing 13cm band Yagi (or GHz monopoles ecc) is very difficult if
inch and foot are used :(  .
