Although I would normally expect imperial
measurements in
an American
device, I have noticed that all the screws in
this drive
have metric
threads.
Is it an American device? I've never seen one, but all of the
9144/45/35401 manuals appear to have been printed in the UK.
Does the serial plate list the country of manufacture?
