| For example, photo cells monitor the precision of ballpoint pen tips, which are manufactured to tolerances of two thousandths of a millimetre. |
| The hard disk operates in milliseconds, or thousandths of a second, because it is mechanical. |
| The current is of such high frequency that it flows along the metal surface to a depth of several thousandths of an inch. |
| This coefficient is indexed on 1 January each year and is rounded up to one hundred thousandths of euros. |
| The bugs are only a few thousandths of a millimetre across and lack the cell walls which most bacteria have. |
| The airbags inflate in 30 thousandths of a second to supplement the action of the safety belt during the final phase of impact deadening. |
