Although the �cgs� measurement of units as against the then used �fps� system took to be recognized as the Metric System of Units, yet the cause of decimale time got abandoned due to politico-religious dogma and failure of Prieur of Cote d�Or while favoring adoption of the Metric System, by the decree of 1795 April 7 in France; forcing the world scientific family to gradually see its merits. My attempt: Metric Norms for Time Standard(1971), in order to link time units with the arc-angle that leds to define The Nautical Kilometre, was a step in *this direction*.

*****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****

What did Napoleon do to help the metric system? I thought that he almost destroyed it. I remember hearing something about 2.5 cm units and 30 cm units with Napoleon. Thank you for your time and insight.
Sincerely,
