Nominal Thickness Units? #139

@smiths Hello Dr. Smith, I noticed this: image In Drasil and Manual.

It seems like we missed it in our discussion on which units each symbol should be in. I've tried looking at the source material to see if I could find anything there like I found with a, b, and h but I couldn't find anything. Should nominal thickness be kept as mm?

Yes, t should be in mm. It isn't "real" in the sense that t isn't used in any equations. The designation for a certain thickness of glass is "2.5 mm".
