Imperial is an early measurement ... also found on old British motor bikes and cars  :daumenhoch:

So is there any marking on top of the bolt head on real vectors? I have one that says -KS- on the top and one that doesn't. I know the bars are real but not sure on the bolt. ;)

Imperial is in Inches, Feet, Miles, Pounds, Stone's etc

& Metric is in mm, cm, meters, Kilometers, etc

They still use imperial in the US  ::)
