I included a mention of those diamonds, even though I don't know much about them. I put a link to a page that does know, so at least an interested reader can follow that. --MathBV 00:03, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Tape measure dual dimensioning

The pdf is saying that dual dimensioning is bad. Tape measures in the US have often dual dimensioningg in U.S customary and SI. So i do not see your point that this isnt applicable here. --Seppilesepp (talk) 21:12, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

@Seppilesepp: This should be discussed on the article's talk page, not here. In any case, as I said in my edit summary, the source you gave isn't talking about tape measures, thus it does not support the text you were trying to add to the article. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 21:34, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Length

"Pocket tape measures have a tape 1 to 15 feet (0.30 to 4.57 m) in length" and later in the article there are pictures of two pocket tape measures, both 5 m long. 91.153.55.81 (talk) 21:25, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
