[USMA:28461] Re: Bolt specification

[Joseph B. Reid]

Terry Simpson asked  in USMA 28451:

Where did I see the recommendation to have the multiplier on the top?

I scanned the ISO standards that I have, without luck. Then I looked at 
NIST Special Publication 811.  I found:

"6.2.5 Use of multiple Prefixes
	"In a derived unit formed by division, the uee of a prefix symbol (or 
a prefix) in both the numerator *and* the denominator may  cause 
confusion. Thus, for example,      10 kV/mm is acceptable, but 10 MV/m 
is often considered preferable because it contains only one prefix and 
it is in the numerator."
