To be honest, the auto companies are not known for their even-handed supplier relations.
"You will, or my next supplier will" is the common way of dealing with ANY supplier reluctance. I can assure you I've said it. We defeat conversion or acceptance of english units in our CAD equipment. It is only possible to draw a metric drawing, including an imported drawing from a supplier. If they submit an english drawing, they have to convert it. --- On Fri, 3/13/09, Jeremiah MacGregor <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Jeremiah MacGregor <[email protected]> > Subject: [USMA:43767] Re: Arizona I-19 losing kilometer signs > To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[email protected]> > Date: Friday, March 13, 2009, 10:18 PM > I just wonder how the auto industry was able to do what the > highway department couldn't do.
