Stan & all: It was thoughtful of you to circulate USMA 46325, promoting SI as the 'technical language' among US engineering community. I may not contribute much to steam cars/engines as you know my area of study has been Reform of Gregorian calendar.
As an USMA member, you have some inputs that I placed for discussions at my Home Page. Format of my proposed calendar is placed at: http://www.brijvij.com/bb_alt-wrldCal.pdf SIncerly, Brij Bhushan Vij (MJD 2455945)/1725+D-009W01-02 (G.

Although it is about a steam car (I can hardly think of a more I-P product than steam engines!) it also traces the progress of the project from the I-P units specification thru the change to SI units midway in the project when it was so directed by the Dep't of Energy in 1973. Thus the article starts I-P but ends SI. As I recall, when the edict for SI came about, the SES company never consider to ask for more money to justify the "conversion." A small booklet that described SI was give to all pertinent personnel; some read it, some not but all learned to report data and do calculations in SI from one monthly report to the next one. A weeks notice? Maybe a month. Happy New Year to all.
