In a time before calculators, going the extra mile at work sometimes didn't add up

I am astonished, but not surprised, at the the lack of attention to detail in the article.

The first paragraph contains a glaring inaccuracy. A "mile" (as in "go the extra") would equate to 1.61 km, not 1 km. So "go the extra mile (or kilometer)" should have read "go the extra mile (or 1.61 km)"
