I think they’re trying to convince you to switch to metric.
But the imperial system is so convenient, you just use fractions instead of decimals...
/s, because well, this is the internet.
The measurements in parentheses are millimeters (or close enough), so it looks like a shitty conversion from a non-US manufacturer that doesn't use imperial.
36" is 914.4mm, so that's what I'm basing this off of.
Yeah, I reckon somebody told the drafter Americans use inches and fractions and they did not clarify any more than that.
Our system is antiquated and kind of unwieldy, but it is a system. Power of two denominators for most things, which comes from a practice of just dividing shit in half, and decimal inches for surveyors and machinists.
916mm is 36" 1/16, so it could very well be 916mm converted to imperial and rounded off.
