Reminds me of my days of drawing dimensioned drawings of rockets for modelers. Often the nosecone would be some optimized aerodynamic shape generated by some spiffy supersonic flow theory, like a Sears-Haack ogive, and the source drawing would give a table of stations and radii.
I have a rant in my astronomy class about how the English System constantly shifts, from base ten to base 5280 to base ten to base 12 to base ten to base 2.
