LNER Class A4 4468. Mallard. LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard is a 4-6-2 ("Pacific") steam locomotive built in 1938 for operation on the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of Nigel Gresley. Its streamlined, wind tunnel tested [1] design allowed it to haul long distance express passenger services at high speeds.
The ISO-A paper style series follows the halving, similarity, and proportionality principles. The simplest way to understand how these work is that A4 is half the size of A3, which is, in turn, half the size of A2, and so on to A0, which is the largest in the range at exactly 1 square meter of paper.
For the mathematically minded the scaling factor between A4 and A3 is the square root of 2 (√2) expressed as a percentage. The scaling factor between A4 and A2 is (√2) 2 (i.e. 2) expressed as a percentage. The table below gives generic formulae for conversions between different sizes of the same series and conversions between series for A
Size A4 has its shortest edge (210mm) doubled to be the longest edge of A3 (420mm). A3 has its shortest edge (297mm) doubled to be the longest edge of A2 (594mm). And similarly up to A0. If requiring to enlarge an image it is usually necessary to move up two paper sizes to keep the aspect ratio (i.e. double the size of each edge) otherwise
How many square inches in a2 size? A2 paper is 23.4 x 16.5 = 386.1 square inches (Nowadays, paper is usually in metric measurements: 594 x 420 = 249480 square millimetres.) How big is an A2 piece of paper?
Many were only able to order entire boxes of 10 reams (5000 sheets) and many shop assistants were unfamiliar with the ISO paper-size system. I am being told that the situation has improved quite a bit during the last decade and that A4 paper and accessories are now a lot easier to obtain, but are still considered specialty items.
