An Australian company's rollforming achievements to create steel lattice from COLORBOND® steel have inspired its managing director to look for more challenges. Gram Engineering Managing Director, Ron Mann, has used specially designed and built technology at his plant to produce a three dimensional steel lattice. He's now trying to develop other innovative products made possible using his experience with steel and the latest rollforming technology.

Five completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is measurement. Did you know:

• The one-foot measurement is based on one-third of the length of the arm of King Henry I (1068-1135) of England.
• A mile on the ocean and a mile on land are not the same distance. On the ocean, a nautical mile measures 1,853 metres. A land or statute mile is 1,609 metres.
• Ancient Greeks originally determined the fathom, a measurement of 6 feet (1.83 metres), by the length of a sailor's outstretched arms.
• A "hairsbreadth away" is 1/48 of an inch (0.53 millimetres)
  
• "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is the equivalent of 111,100 kilometres under the sea. If taken literally, as the Earth is only 12,756 km in diameter, this puts Jules Verne's submarine a third of the way to the moon!
