IIRC, 19" racks go back before WWII. I'll
have to check one or two of my
old electronics books, but my guess is that the size originiated in the
1920's.
It would be cool if we could find out why everyone standardized on
19 inches.
Is that the dimension of the inside of the rack mount area, or the
width of the rack itself including posts?
