Dear All:
I am having trouble doing a Finite Element Analysis on a Phoenician Ship or
some such ship from about 2500? BC.
Marcus do you think you could quickly invent a time machine and send Jim
back in time to give them a quick lesson in metric and then my problems
would be solved.
Also I looked at bread this morning sold as 8 oz or 0.501 lbs, but no
metric marking is that normal in TX.
Seeds were sold as grams with no metric marking and they are from the USA
but the planting data was in Imperial. I suspect that selling 28 grams of
seeds sounds better then 1 oz or am I biased.
