In 1958 the British Commonwealth of Countries and the USA have defined the length of the international yard 0.9144 meters making the international inch is defined to be equal to 25.4 mm. This brought them into accord with the Canadian standard inch. Some countries such as Sweden have had different inches at different periods in their history. In 1863 the Swedish working inch" was replaced with the Swedish decimal inch" of 29.69 mm to make each Swedish foot equal to 10 decimal inches.
