Since they're upside down all the time, I figured the flying rig was bolted to the deck to keep it from falling upSo when flying Peter Pan, do you have to do special modification for the difference in the Coriolus effect? String the blocks back to front, instead of front to back?? that sort of thing

ooh new idea for the forum. I wonder if there is a little robot that'll offer to convert your dims from "metric" to "freedom"? or vice versa. Like, an autocorrect for measurements? This forum has become a lot more international since I joined back in 08. Remember when that paperclip would pop up in Word and try to help you with your resume? that's gotta exist somewhere right?

I'll try to get a picture soon, but our workshop at the Theater has an "emergency cubit" stored behind glass like a fire axe. Someone toured the "Noah's Ark" in Kentucky and brought it back as a souvenir.
Clippy! Microsoft's most-maligned mascot! TBH, he/she/they/it deserved it for popping in, uninvited, in the midst of writing...
No "pint" for you. Half-litre only!
Our pubs still sell in pints. 20 fl oz pints.
It's one of those UK peculiarities that, although most things have to be be offered for sale priced per metric measure, a) there is nothing stopping the use of imperial measures too, as long as the metric measure is displayed, and b) there are some exceptions. So in most pubs, spirits and wine are sold in ml measures but beer, cider and many soft drinks tend to be sold in pints or half pints. Supermarket shelves will have beers for sale in 250ml, 330ml, 500 ml and 600/660 ml bottles, and 330ml, 440 ml and pint cans (with the capacity in ml also marked on them).
Petrol/Diesel are sold in litres but fuel consumption is still quoted in miles per imperial gallon (160 fl oz).
Yeah, I know.

Furlongs per fortnight?
Metric and Imperial I understand; freedom units I don't comprehend.
Toodleoo!

"Give him a centimeter, and he'll take a meter" just doesn't have the same ring as "give him an inch and he'll take a mile"

As promised ladies and gentlemen, in case you think I’m making this stuff up, I present to you the emergency cubit

The amount of sticks that are of a specific length in my workshop is great. And they all have their unique special part number which makes it a tool and not just another stick.
