Patric Moor, James Frysinger, John Steele, Sirs: >While you wait for the new edition of ANSI SI10, you might consider NIST SP330 >and SP811. My post may be deemed 'out of context'; the point I intend raising is interction among NIST and ANSI attempting to consolidate SI 10 and make it usable, among Industry and user friendly guide - at all levels: be it the student, engineer or the industrial user dedicated to "adopt Metric Norms falling in line with Le Systeme Internatioanle d'Unites". It appears, to me, that USMA and NIST are working independently that may leave some areas 'untouched' - like the denial of mereger between Time & Arc-angle in the past some 200-years i.e. since SIGNING the 'convention du metre' by United States. It is my hope that effort shall be directed to 'nip the evil' and produce the document ASTM SI-10, for long term benefit for US and the International community alike.
