You mean, from "thin end of wedge" to "wide end of wedge" is not good  
enough for you? ;-)
It must be 50 years since the last thing with actual physical units on a  
scale was produced, WAY too dangerous these days, someone might actually  
rely on it, or worse even check it, and find out it's way off because  
there wasn't the budget to calibrate it.

I sometimes label stuff like thermostat controls in degrees by painstaking  
measurements, but i would have no idea how to measure the force of my  
fuser.
