The 1218 Traveler & Chappell Tape Deal offers a great way to integrate the Chappell Layout System into your work. The fractional inch is as archaic as a slide-rule in this high tech digital age, so why fuss around trying to convert fractions—it just leads to frustrations and mistakes. It's time to leave fractions by the wayside and get sensible.
The best argument for the metric system is that it is a base 10 system—so easy and quick to calculate. The Chappell Ruling is also a base 10 system, merging the best of the metric system with the beautiful human proportions of the inch and foot. Once you start using the Chappell System you'll breath a sigh of relief and never look back. Bring on the 22nd century.
