Quite correct. The biggest arms maker on the planet, America, still uses the imperial system of measurement. Myself, with a background in old cars, am very familiar with imperial measurements in locally produced pre 1980’s cars, as even though the metric system was introduced in ‘66, all nuts, bolts and parts like pistons and bearings are listed in imperial sizes. On the early Holden commodore the engine transmission uses imperial nuts and bolts, everything to do with the body is metric. Australia is a bit of a crossroads in world trade at times, and I think the imperial system will be with us for a while yet
