Hi, Min Min. Thank you for your lessons.
About this word “公寸”, in Baike (http://www.baike.com/wiki/%E5%85%AC%E5%AF%B8) and some other sites, they say that 公寸 = 0.1m = 1 decimeter.
So, “有1公寸” should mean “1 decimeter thick”, not “1 inch thick”

Hi Minh Hung,
Thanks for pointing out the error.
Actually I want to mean 吋 or 英寸.
