or so years ago claiming to follow modern satellite design back through
car lane/tunnel dimensions, railway guages, coverered wagons, roman roads
and eventually arrived at the wheel separation of a Hittite war chariot. Not
sure how real it was, but a good read.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=4>Indeed. Many years ago when I was working in HVAC I was trying to
calculate air flow temperature changes based on a coil rated at some value (eg:
22 MBTU/Hr) and my calculations kept coming out way out of the realm of
</FONT><FONT size=4>reality. By a factor of 1000. Then I realized
that the "M" stood for Mille (1000 in Latin). Remember the Mille Miglia is
a race of 1000 miles, not 1,000,000 miles. I think that by the end of a
million mile race all the spectators will have gone home.<BR><BR>So when does
"M" mean 1,000 and when does it mean 1,000,000? The answer to that is the
same as it is to most of life's questions: "It depends." For example, how
big is a barrel? Answer: It depends. A barrel of beer is 31
gallons. In the US. In Brittan it is 43 gallons (US). But most
fluid barrels are half a hogshead (31.5 US gallons). And a barrel of oil
is 42 US gallons.<BR><BR>Context is everything.<BR><BR>BTW, how much is a
buttload? Two hogsheads. Look it up.<BR></FONT>
