UK drawings in Imperial??. They must be very old, nobody has produced Imperial engineering drawings in the UK for 30 years or more. We may drink pints and drive miles and buy a pound of potato, but those have been retained just as cultural relics. To all effects, the UK is thoroughly metricated and has been for decades. Ask most engineers under 60 to cut off 9/16" of material and he would have to get a calculator out. Us crumblies would just cut 14mm ;)
