It’s not used for technical purposes so probably not! And is a much older
system, so the idea of having the stone that all others must conform to is
unlikely to be a thing.

 
Pity! It would be fun to go to a museum and see THE stone!  ;-)
 
 
 
 

Are various artefacts and curiosities in some of the smaller museums.

My wife and I marvelled at the national bike museum in Wales that clearly
had started by a collector, gave us a tome as was so much stuff! Such as
derailleurs by the year aka a wall with few hundred.

It clearly needed to remove most of it and only display a selection though
that was some of its charm!

Very odd place.
