Dennis Brownridge has provided me with his table of non-SI units in use in the United States, with permission to publish it on the SI Navigator site. I have converted it to HTML format and have replaced the unique characters for the degree symbol and for powers of 2 and 3 with superscripted ordinary characters (lower case o, 2, and 3). The table still contains the Greek mu character. I still haven't decided what to do about that (for the benefit, for example, of Macintosh users). If you simply go to the SI Navigator site (http://metric1.org), you'll see that there's an announcement and a link on the home page. The link is to the relevant entry on the Historical Document page. That entry, in turn, contains the button to load the new page. If you're too lazy to look at the introductory material, you can get to the new page directly by clicking on http://metric1.org/nonsi.htm. Like all the other SI Navigator pages, it contains the context-preservation JavaScript (which automatically reloads it with the site banner and the menu frame). If you want to look up a particular term, you may use your browser's Find command, once you have loaded the page, or you may go to the Search Entire Site section (via the main menu). I look forward to your comments. Bill Potts, CMS San Jose, CA http://metric1.org [SI Navigator]
