Back in the old neighborhood, an ass hair was a unit of measurement, as in, that freaking car missed me by an ass hair! |

Hi, There is a lot of 'evidence' in the electronics that a bee's dick was used as unit of measure. Look at these early op-amps: The pins where place on a 0.2" pitch. 0.2" is the Imperial Bee's Dick, often confused with the European Bee's dick which is a tad shorter at 5mm. When the DIP packaged IC arrived, the pin pitch was chosen as 'half a bee's dick' We now have SOIC (quarter dick spacing) Regards, Jay_Diddy_Bee |
