I don't know the AGC, but I do know a man who works in construction and came from another country, and we talked a bit about metrication last Saturday. >From what I've heard, several people in the church work in construction, and all of us either came from a Hispanic country or have a recent ancestor who did. If I can get them to understand why we ought to metricate, we might get the Charlotte construction industry to metricate, and that'll hit both the Charlotte surveyors and the AGC with a forty-by-ninety. phma
