What is a nautical kilometre? I see no reference to this in the SI brochure. I was under the impression there is only one SI length unit, the metre of which the kilometre is a multiple of the metre. Did the BIPM secretly without informing anyone add a new unit similar to the existing one? Why would they do such a thing?

Amos, sir:
.....and the circle was divided into 400 grads, which means a grad on the equator (or any meridian) measures close to 100 km.....
This is what I proposed in my base contribution: The Metric Second (1973) published through Bureau of Indian Standards, New Delhi in their issue of April 1973; and arrived at my definition of Nautical Kilometre p.157 of the issue refers.

*****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! ***** ***** ***** *****
