Dear All, Is there any truth to this story, that was sent to me by my sister.
'The story I've always been told is that when President Carter tried to switch the US to the metric system, the aerospace companies stepped in and told him a couple things: '1) cost plus on government contracts is going to be a much bigger PLUS '2) it'll hurt US manufacturing by making it easier for those foreigners to sell their products here (without conversion to US measurements)' Cheers, Pat Naughtin CAMS Geelong, Australia
