Section 3 is pretty explicit on use of SI, but doesn't lay down the law
explicitly:

But having published in AIP myself, the LAST thing you want is to have some
reviewer jump all over you for something trivial, like inappropriate units.
So that's motivation enough, even for the non-SI inclined.

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?
