[modeleng] Re: Bar as in pressure

I know Tim explained it already but I had thought it was derived from the
average (measured carefully after WW2 as a civilian employment project) seat
pressure exerted on  stools and benches in saloons worldwide, hence the
name.

Probably wrong, but maybe plausible...
