I read in !emc-pstc that Robert Macy <m...@california.com> wrote (in <013301c1b033$eed45cc0$69e10...@robert.macy.california.com>) about 'Teslars???', on Thu, 7 Feb 2002:
> If you're English, 1 tesla is 10,000 gauss. It is, but electronic engineers in Britain use SI units. Magnetic materials suppliers, world-wide, still use CGS units, as do most physicists, it seems, judging by the papers in 'Nature'. They probably get a kick out of writing things like '10^38 ergs'. Since you are in USA, I am surprised that you don't use a unit called, perhaps, the 'franklin', 1 pound force per ampere-foot.
