It has both centimeters and inches. I believe that it was a freebie from Omni Resources.

Sender: Philip Hoehn <[log in to unmask]> The cloth tapes from fabric stores are quite satisfactory, and they are relatively cheap. Somewhat tiresome to rewind the things, though. I have a metal, retractible one (maybe 10 years old, purchased at some, unknown, hardware store in the Berkeley, California area): Stanley Powerlock #33-203 "20th anniversary edition" 3m, 10 ft. long Gives both in. and cm.
