Plus, how did standard distance between studs become 16 inches?
Go ahead and include other standards, like height of electrical outlets, cabinet heights etc.
I am looking for the actually “history” and/or technology that led to the establishment of these standards.
Not a homework assignment, but I am a decent “handy man” and I always wondered about this stuff.
