>Of Gene Mechtly >They are *not* in the BIPM Brochure on the SI. Only indirectly (in older >NBS publications) are non-metric units defined for the US as multiples of >SI units.
I also want the SI brochure to limit itself to current SI units or units currently accepted for use with SI. The inclusion of non-current units is not helpful to commercial users of the brochure. Historians may be interested in a wide range of obsolete units such as the cubit, ell, scruple, thurdendel, metric carat and micron. But that is history.
