Humphery, sir:
I'm still trying to work out what a "metre new" is.....
Considering present length of the Metre, Earth can be considered a
'hypothetical sphere' of radius 6371 km, with its
circumference:40030.1592786906 km.
Earth circumferece of 360-degree, then works to 111.194886885252 km/degree;
and 1/10^5th of the degree could be usefully used to re-define the METRE
(New (m') as length unit:
1 Metre New (m') = 1.11194886885252 m
This can easily be TIED to the new interval for time (without changing the
existing face of 24-hour clocks) 24-hours x 100 md x100sd, each decimal
second of 0.36 of SI-atomic second.
With multiples & sub-multiples using (L=m' & T=sd), magnitude of other units
can be obtained as I have shown in my base contribution: The Metric Second;
V25 N4; 1973 April; Bureau of Indian Standards, New Delhi.

The yard did not become more accurate, it changed slightly. the yard is
not
defined as 0.9144 m, but rather as 0.9144 m EXACTLY. This means that it
changed from 0.91443992 m to 0.9144000000 m.
I have missed checking my INBOX for some time. Reverting from Metre to
Yard may switch to disater. My providing a new defionition for Metre New
(m') as: 1/10^5th of the DEGREE (Pi/180) has the potential to settle dust
over the issue by choosing if we wish to call Metre New (m') and re-term
it as New Yard (yd').
Will this blow Le Systeme Internationale d'Unites (SI) to winds?
