In tooling around looking for something, I came across a couple of homework sets from the Princeton Physics Department that have students calculate problems in electrostatic units (esu)! How archaic! I don't have time to pursue this just now, but perhaps someone here (Gene? Joe?) would care to take this on.

If nobody posts an inquiry this afternoon, I'll do so tonight after my afternoon class. Jim -- Metric Methods(SM) "Don't be late to metricate!" James R.
