Before Nanotechnology
 

It was weird. I was doing research on some technical paper that was written in 1975, and he kept writing, milli-micrometers. I was confused at first, then I realized the date.

Still, interesting nonetheless. Aye?

What the hell are you talking about?

Nanometers, a nanometer is the unit of measurement just under micrometers. a micrometer is one millionth of a meter whereas a nanometer is one billionth. I believe thats the correct measurements anyway.

Right.

The prefix nano = 1*10^-9
The prefix micro = 1*10^-6
The prefix milli = 1*10^-3

So, before there was nanotechnology, or in other words basically, technology that included the nano prefix, a nanometer (1*10^-9 meters), was called a milli-micrometer (1*10^-3*(1*10^-6)=1*10^-9).
