    It's not clear to me where "bar" comes into this.  I'm used to
    atmospheric pressure in millibars, and comfortable with bar for
    pressure, although many of the gauges
    I use are PSI.

    switched three times.  At the beginning of the design process for a new class

    in feet' and metric was gone again.
