About Millimetres per Second
A millimetre per second (mm/s) is 10⁻³ m/s - the speed of slow industrial mechanisms and recognisable biological motion. FDM 3D printers move at 40-120 mm/s for perimeters and 150-300 mm/s for infill. Garden snails travel 0.5-1.5 mm/s; earthworms 3-5 mm/s. CNC finishing operations run 1-several hundred mm/s. Hydraulic precision slides work at mm/s for surface preparation. Ultrasound particle velocities in soft tissue are also in this range. 1 mm/s = 10⁻³ m/s.
About Miles per Minute
A mile per minute (mi/min) = exactly 26.8224 m/s = 60 mph. The X-15 rocket plane flew at ~4.5 mi/min (Mach 6.7); the SR-71 Blackbird at ~2.1 mi/min (Mach 3.2). Speed of sound at sea level ≈ 0.77 mi/min. 'Mile-a-minute' (60 mph = 1 mi/min) was a historic railway milestone first achieved on the Great Western Railway in the 1840s. 1 mi/min = 96.5604 km/h.
