Back many years ago when I was a Journeyman Tool&Die Maker , a young apprentice sheepishly walked over to me and asked what the fraction .378/.375 meant.
Knowing what the fraction meant, I jokingly told him it would be 1.008--a little over an inch.
He said "well I killed it !"
I then walked over to where he was working and explained that the dimension had to be .375- .376- .377 or .378. No greater or smaller.
He was very relieved.
