Dear All,
Members of the USMA will have read about the Ametrica project in the
latest edition of Metric Today, where Amy Wang asks:
Where in the world does a pound of feathers weigh more than a pound of
gold?
You can find out more about this project at http://mfad.typepad.com/crit/2006/09/ametrica_an_int.html
and I suggest that you read some of the responses at the bottom.
I particularly like the idea that Amy Wang proposes a direct
metrication approach without all the rigmarole involved in conversions.
Cheers,
Pat Naughtin
