I had a project in 1989 to rebuild the top (lantern) of the Cape Lookout 
Lighthouse.  I was shocked to find that the brass machine screws that held 
the big window pains around the lantern in place were metric.  M8 by 20 I 
think.  Turns out the lantern (upper part of the light house including the 
light  it's self) was built in France in the late 1800's
