Interesting to hear that ICs were made with 2.5mm pin pitch. In the early 1970's we had a Cambion catalogue that had sockets with this pitch in addition to the usual 0.1" pitch. I did wonder why at the time and wondered if it was another example of the overenthusiastic metric madness that was prevalent at the time. The first Cambion metric catalogue had a page of useful data where they just multiplied everything by 25.4, including π!
