Inch

An inch (plural: inches; abbreviation or symbol: in or ″ – a double prime) is a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. Historically an inch was also used in a number of other systems of units. Traditional standards for the exact length of an inch have varied in the past, but since July 1959 when the international yard was defined as 0.9144 metres, the international inch has been exactly 25.4 mm. There are 12 inches in a foot and 36 inches in a yard.

Usage

The inch is a commonly used customary unit of length in the United States,Canada, and the United Kingdom. For the United Kingdom, guidance on public sector use states that since 1 October 1995, without time limit, the inch (along with the foot) is to be used as a primary unit for road signs and related measurements of distance (with the possible exception of clearance heights and widths) and may continue to be used as a secondary or supplementary indication following a metric measurement for other purposes.

Inch (band)

Inch was a pop-punk band formed in San Diego in 1992. The group was founded by former Sub Society vocalist Michael "Stimy" Steinman, guitarist Mike Paprocki and bassist Jeff Reese.

Band history

Inch was formed in 1992 by Michael "Stimy" Steinman, Jeff Reese, Dave Hepler and Michael Paprocki. Steinman sang lead vocals and played guitar, Hepler was on drums, Reese on bass, and Paprocki on guitar. Steinman was the former lead singer of Sub Society, a band who achieved notoriety by being featured in several H-Street skateboarding videos. Inch released their debut album, Stresser, on the Atlantic Records imprint Seed Records in 1994. Seed went out of business before the band's second album DOT Class "C," so that album enjoyed a short release on Atlantic Records before they were dropped and the album was deleted from the Atlantic catalog. DOT Class "C" was then re-released by Cargo/Headhunter Records on CD and on Goldenrod Records and Trademark Records on LP, limited to a run of 750, with hand silkscreened art done by Drive Like Jehu singer and artist Rick Froberg. The song "For Duty And Humanity" from the album was featured on the soundtrack of the 1996 comedy film Flirting With Disaster and was included in the Foundation Skateboards video Duty Now For The Future.
