I hope you aren't getting frustrated with discussing this. I don't see anywhere that suggests that the units in Table 6 to 10 are units of the modern metric system. We agree that they are non-SI. You say 'indisputably' and 'definitely' metric but I am (I am sorry to say) disputing it. I read: "the International System of Units (SI), which is the modern form of the metric system." and I conclude: 1. SI unit = unit of the modern form of the metric system 2. Non-SI unit = not a unit of the modern form of the metric system The whole text of the brochure is consistent with this interpretation. Where is the text that says otherwise? I appear to be so out of line with the rest of you that I need you to be patient and walk me through step by step. -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794
