Rob, here is another little snippet I came across a while back;
The British and Americans came to an accord, in about 1940, about how they arrived at a foot and an inch. Prior to that, they were both different lengths (about 0.020" over two feet, not much) Due to the opposite ways they arrived at the standard.
