I went to one of those converter tables to find out the equivilant and
it did not make any sense to me...ie..i entered 468 mm and it came
back with 1 feet...the same for 5.5 mm...could someone here with this
knowledge, inform me the correct conversion for both of those that i
mentioned? 468mm= 5.5mm=

1" = 25.4mm, therefore:

468mm = 18.4251"
5.5mm = 0.2165"
