Are you sure? I have this vague recollection that the altimeter subscale setting, on the widebody I flew, was marked in furlongs. Or was it the flap gauge? Hmmm, can't remember clearly ... must be getting old. Were the fuel gauges marked in volume of Olympic swimming pools? Gosh, the memories are all rather fuzzy now ...... 🤪
