When using Conversion Utility in PowerToy Calc to convert from Velocity -
Miles/Hour to Feet/Hour, there seems to be an error. Entering 1[mi/h->ft/h]
results in 1760, should be 5280 as there are 5280 ft in 1 mile. Note this
conversion appears to work correctly in Calculator Plus (result is
5279.98944).

Are you sure you didn't get Yards/hour instead? As that figure would be
correct in that case.
