Yes. We British used to have gears on the right foot and break on the left, so with BSA bantem they reversed the drawings, and then made all measurments to English sizes, INCHES and fractions of an inch, we also had our own thread sizes, of which there were many, maybe 5 or 6. ! different types. this was to do with number of threads per inch, the pitch ( angel ) of the thread etc etc only in the last 45 or so years we started to use " M " threads.
