DUAL DIMENSIONS This service manual provides specifications in both the Metric (SI) and U.S. Customary systems of measurement. The first specification is given in the measuring system perceived by us to be the preferred system when servicing a particular component; the second specification (given in parentheses) is the converted measurement. For instance, a specification of "0.28 mm (0.011 inch)" would indicate that we feel the preferred measurement, in this instance, is the metric system of measurement and the U.S. system equivalent of 0.28 mm is 0.011 inch.
