It's generally the width of the frontplate of something that you mount
in the rack, including holes for screws, etc. Go measure the rack your
11/03 is in. :)

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?
