[USMA:11436] Units of Measure

[Duncan Bath]

Globe & Mail A10, Mar 02:

"A tall order"

The "Super Trolley"  is, quite correctly reported as being  4.2 metres tall.
HOWEVER,  when it came to reporting the power capability,  the result was
"1,000 horsepower".

In disjointed units, power is quantified in horsepower, Btu/hr and in kW.
The latter, kW, is the only unit which should be used.  It permits
comparisons of power no matter what the situation.  Furthermore, it is
doubtful if horsepower were to be used, at this time, in Australia.
