The question in post #1 was answered in post #2, and confirmed in post #3.
Now, at post #34 there are still white knuckled typers arguing that cc=cubic centimeters - gotta love KB
Eh? No one's arguing that cc=cubic centimeters, the discussion is about terms and conventions and so on....and fukkit, it's an interesting discussion too! (IMNSHO). People are sometimes soo good at thinking everything is a personal attack, there's not many around willing to have a good chinwag anymore!
Hiss gets it, but unfortunately I must spread my seed, ooer I mean rep before he gets any more blingbut I hear he's on the bottle so he probly won't notice. Time for another Coubon and Boke for me, then I'm really taking me own advice and leaving this drivel before it becomes pointless

In the future to save yourself some time, try Google, it'll give you answer straight away
Always remember... "I don't know the answer, but Google does!"
Sure it won't give you the cure for cancer, but with easy shit like this it's always the win. Oh, and it won't wank on for a pages of drivel on the correct abbreviation to use etc![]()

Hello officer put it on my tab
Don't steal the government hates competition.
...if I can see for miles and miles and fucking miles, how many kilometers is that , and would I see further with metric or imperial binoculars....
Just to confuse things milli litre get said as "1mil" or "10 mils"
A mil is a measurment of angle. NATO standard compass. 6400 in a circle/360 degrees
Start at Point A, walk 1Km to Point B, move to your left 1 metre to Point C
The angle measured from Point A to Between B and C is 1 mil
Based on pye but 6283 is a horrible number to fit onto a compass so it got rounded up to 6400

Neat, I had never heard of the angular mils one.
Here's another spoken miscommunication one though - in engineering CAD/CAM a mil is a thousandth of an inch. Bit of a bugger when a hole is meant to be say 80mils (3.14mm) and it gets drilled to 80mm!![]()
Havnt heard of that one , Is that American software?
I think from memory a 100th of a mm is a graduation, about 4 thou of a inch/ mils in your CAD programme
No wonder fuck ups happen.
The NZ Army used to use everything, Inchs, centimetres, (pet hate , dress makers mesurment) Miles, Kms, depends who and how old they are, and the the "mils" as in navigation, "mls" as in milllitres, "mm" as in millimetres. all said the same
Hope they dont now !
You will see mils in Brackets next to degrees in maps on the Legend
