Sweden
In the 19th century, Sweden devised a way into the metric world. First, in 1855?1863 the existing "working inch" was changed into a "decimal inch" which was 1/10th foot or approximately 0.03 metres. Proponents argued that a decimal system simplifies calculations, but having two different inch measures turned out to be so complicated that in 1878?1889 it was agreed to introduce the metric units.
