Someone double-check me on this...

Looking at the pic with the tape measure starting at the "60" mark and reading to the left I'm reading 23mm for two "turns". When I do a conversion 1" = 25.4mm, so if that is supposed to be a 2 tpi thread something would seem to be off or are we dealing with a metric thread?

Thanks,
