I am curious to read the reply. I hope policies have changed in the museum.
Two decades ago, I complained about the lack of metric signs in the exhibitions and an abundance of mistakes on those few that existed. The at-that-time president of the American National Metric Council, who new personally several officers there, offered the services of my company to straighten the matter - to make corrections and suggestions. A few weeks went by and then it turned out that there was no budget for fees for such services. I offered to do the work for free as long as my expenses are reimbursed. A few weeks went by and then it turned out that there was no budget for such expenses either. I offered to do the work entirely free as long as the timing could accomodate my being in Washington anyway. I am still to receive a reply. Stan Jakuba
