 Subject:  Re: Why 1/35?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Jun 22, 2005
 From:  Al Bowie 
As mentioned above, 1/32nd was a simplification from Imperial measurement whilst 1:35th is a simplification from metric measurement. As the japanes were savvy enough to be working in a measurement system based on factors of ten they went with 1:35th which was big enough for motorisation and an easy conversion.
