Metric inches are quite practical, given the current state of US conversion. Defining the inch as 25.0 mm, it simply becomes a grouping of 25 mm, or a quarter of a base 100 mm module. (much like 25 cents is a quarter of the base 100 cent module, the dollar).
I was talking with a supplier the other day who was hard ifp. I was viewing his inches as 25 mm modules, he was viewing them as self-contained measurement units independent of anything else. We both were happy. Nat PS Teach this in grade school and you Balkanize ifp within 10 years. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of kilopascal Sent: Wednesday, 2002 November 27 10:21 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:23615] metric inch 2002-11-27 Check this out: http://slashdot.org/articles/99/09/30/1437217.shtml Look for the metric inch.
