Gene and others: Just as a follow-on, please note that, although it's in the form of a PDF, it is not searchable. It was obviously produced by doing a scan of every page of the 1990 edition.
Some of the latest OCR software is good enough to convert it to actual text, with the formatting intact. However, I don't have the high-priced version of the one I use (ScanSoft OmniPage SE 4.0 -- which is otherwise excellent). Mine can do it from a printed copy, but not from a computer image (from any file type).

The American Institute of Physics (AIP) Style Manual virtually *mandates* "metric" units, which can be interpreted to include cgs units. The AIP consists of most American scientific societies as members. My edition of the AIP manual is many years old. Later editions may specify SI, I'm not sure. That's worth a Web search. Bill, Bill, or Jim, do you know?
