[Healeys] Socket Drive Dimensions

[Bernard Cristalli]

Metric in France, of course.
This was invented by us during the french revolution. But some 
expressions still refer to the old Royal system like 'il n'a pas bouge 
d'un pouce' (He didnt move by an inch), or 'donnez moi une demie livre 
de beurre' (give me half a pound of butter), one pound was not far from 
half a kilo.
