Talk:Circular mil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In what way is a value given in circular mil "not the true cross sectional area" - is the cross sectional area of a wire whose area is given as 4 circular mils something other than 2.0683·10^-9 m³? Or is this trying to say that it's sometimes used without being specified (so that people might think some other unit of area is being used)?--Random832 (contribs) 20:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

This article is awful! It is written from the point of view of someone who hates circular mils, like that is convenient or useful in an encyclopedia. Needs a rewrite. I like to saw logs! (talk) 07:00, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
