Then everything changed and we used cgs (centimetre, gram, second). Then we changed again, to mks (metre, kilogram, second). And finally we moved to SI (Systeme International). Since we were using slide rules and log tables, getting the decimal point in the right place was mostly guess work anyway, so the metric changes weren't too bad, and I can now class myself as incompetent in all units of measurement. But I'm going to bite (though I'll regret it later no doubt) - what's CPS?
