Here's the final outcome with this web site manager. I'd say he did a pretty good job of it, although I'd like to have seen the metric units come first.

By the way, I just reread what I wrote before about the film speed through the camera being 100 m/min. This is the same as a normal (non-strolling) walking pace: I walk about 6 km/hr = 6000 m / 60 min = 100 m/min. Another way to think of it is 10 minutes per kilometer. Also, I find the following web resources to be useful guides to recommended metric style: http://lamar.colostate.edu/~hillger/correct.htm (from the US Metric Association) http://commerce.aip.org/metric.htm (Guide for Metric Practice from "Physics Today") I look forward to taking in the IMAX experience on Sunday.
