If you would like one that you can print out and keep in your bag, try this. It covers from 3.00 meters to 6.50 meters in .01 increments.
meters to feet and inches pdf file
You can also keep a copy of it on your computer desktop and just click on it whenever you have a question.

Enjoy, - master

Yes I watched Phil set the record! I was amazed to see how emotional he was because he was mellow and quite in wrestling.

Umm im not sure what one i want to know. Whatever is the most advanced class.
