I can visualise miles, feet and inches.
I have no idea how far a km is or what 456mm looks like without a tape measure. For me a wellknown problem: Since I own the 4/4 (my first english car) I had to use Google a lot of times to understand various measurements I have read. I will look for a measuring tape with inches etc.

![[Linked Image]](https://up.picr.de/41230971ng.jpg) I had this quite elegant knob on the M3W. As I know it was a gift to the preowner but I don't know who has done it. That's a good looking knob. Plenty of girth.

Decimilisation took place in 1971 prior to that there were 12 pence to a shilling and 20 shillings to the pound.

two-bits is a quarter dollar which comes from silver coins being sliced into "pieces of 8". And then there is a shaver who shaves a wee bit of a piece.
Or, a shave and a haircut... two bits!

another suggestion : ![[Linked Image]](https://zupimages.net/up/21/20/uw4e.jpeg) I assume you're not superstitious, attaching 13 to a MTW drivetrain...
