a 19x2.54 cm rack I guess.....

Rack 482mm ou 42cm ou 19 pouces probably. The rack cabinet is "une armoire".

They used to be called post office racks. In the US they are also called relay racks since they were made for telephone relays. In some countries, the telephones were run by the post office.

The racks I've seen in telephone central offices were 24", not 19"

He asked for Europe, not France :-) But for France you're right: "rack 19 pouces". The rack cabinet is either "une armoire" or "une baie".

In UK we call them 19 inch racks. 1U high, 2U high, 3U high etc.

Same in Germany where they say "19 Zoll Rahmen". Sometimes it's called VME rack because they are so popular.

Rack Royale?

What do they call a quarter pounder?

True. In Europe (i.e. Brussels and Strasbourg) they probably call them

1946/19/EEC and there's mandatory compliance with a 485 page "standard" (which does nothing but refer to other documents, which refer etc. per omnia saecula saeculorum) which everyone ignores.

But being British, I've a tendency to think "Europe" means the other end of the Dover ferry route.

An anorexic with a yeast infection is a quarter pounder with cheese.

Last time I looked, IEC297 was the dimensional standard.

Well, that's where it starts ....

Where is The Woodgate anyway, have not heard from him in a while?

Nope. He's buried in one committee whose purpose is to write the norms to which the EU constitution should comply.

We call it 19 Zoll here
