Federal legislation in the Highway bill prohibited federal money being used
to pay for Metric System items such as highway signs. Since there was no
money to pay for it, all metrication work on highways stopped. Ironically
states were not asking for money for signs, but for actual construction
usin
lated activities. Thus states, such as
Minnesota, which was fairly well along in the metric standards transition,
had to roll back ALL metric work, there being no federal
reimbursement money available to pay for any of their metric activity.

According to NIST Special Publication 330, the standard is for a space
between the number and the symbol for the unit. Sadly, most companies
ignore that rule, like they ignore the rule about prefixes (1000MG comes to

The US Metric Association is offering a $2,500.00 scholarship award to a
high school senior to be used for the 2017-2018 academic year. If you know
any high school seniors interested in the Metric System,
