In conjunction with the release of the BlueScope Steel’s Measurement Conversion Tool download, the theme for facts this month is measurement. Did you know:

• A bathometer is an instrument for indicating the depth of the sea beneath a moving vessel
• A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second
• The metal instrument used in shoe stores to measure feet is called the Brannock device
• A gnat's eye is a slang unit of distance. The eyes of typical gnats tend to have diameters similar in size to a hair's breadth - roughly 100-150 micrometers
• A hogshead is a unit of volume for liquids defined to hold 2 barrels or 63 gallons. No one seems to know how this unit got its unusual name
