'You telling me you ain't got a pint mug in the 'ole bleeding boozer?' ORWELL ON METRIC CONVERSION 'Pint! he added aggressively to the barman. 'Pint of wallop.' Born in Canada in 1950 my formative years were at a time when pounds and ounces, feet and inches, and temperatures in Farenheit were used. Then during the reign of the frenchman Pierre Trudeau the country switched overnight from the Imperial to the metric system. Ever since then I have never really known what temperature it is outside or how much something weighs without having first to do the math. It's never become automatic to me. I've always thought it could have been made easier had the government at least showed both measurements side by side. When I complain to most people about my dislike for metric measurement they usually tell me it's easy and they have no problem switching their allegience. So it was much to my satisfaction when, a couple of years ago, I discovered that I wasn't the ONLY person who disliked metric measurement. So did George Orwell, which is good company to be in. ~ Jackie Jura AS I PLEASE by George Orwell, in Tribune Magazine, March 14, 1947:

ALDOT Metric Conversion Table of Contents History of Metric Conversion Current Status of ALDOT Conversion ALDOT Metric Documents History of Metric Conversion The original metric system was proposed and adopted by the French during the time of the French Revolution and rapidly spread throughout Europe during the Napoleonic wares. It was first proposed in the United States by Thomas Jefferson and later by John Quincy Adams. The metric system is formally know as the International System of Units (SI). The following is a listing of the progress of metric conversion in the United States and in ALDOT after that time: 1866 - Congress authorized the use of SI as a measurement system. 1875 - United States became one of the original 17 nations to sign the "Treaty of the Meter" that established the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. The pupose of this organization was to promote and provide standards of measurement for world wide use. 1893 - The metric measurement standards were adopted in the United States as the fundamental standards for length and mass. Shortly thereafter, our "customary" units of measurement were defined in relation to SI units. 1902 - Congressional legislation requiring the federal government to use SI exclusively was defeated by a single vote.

Metrication - The Basics The modern metric system (Systeme Intenationale or SI system) is now the international standard of measurement. To be competitive in international markets, products must be designed, fabricated, and specified in metric units of measurement. Congressional Legislation P.L. 100-576, The Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, the Metric Conversion Act and Executive Order 12770 regarding the move towards metrication, provide the basis and the directive for a transition to the use of metric units. The United States is essentially alone, except for two small developing countries, in its lack of movement into the modern metric (SI) system of measurements. By insertion of the metric section into the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act, Congress was recognizing that a metric changeover can make the U.S. economy stronger by helping industry compete easier in the international trade markets and thus decrease the multi-billion dollar deficit. The metric system, for purposes of international trade, is more than just the International System of Units (SI). In international trade, the metric system refers to the use of product standards and preferred sizes that are accepted by industries throughout the world. It is therefore essential that goods manufactured in the United States be built to metric specifications to be competitive in the international marketplace. If the United States is not in the mainstream of international measurements we will become less able to compete in the world markets.

Meters and Liters: Converting to the Metric System of Measurements Most of the world uses a standard system of measurements called the metric system. This system is based on a unit of measurement called the meter, which gets its name from the Greek word metron , "a measure." One meter is equal to 1 ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. It's a standard for measuring length that is derived from the planet we live on. COMMON CONVERSIONS 1 inch = 2.5 cm 1 foot = 30 cm 1 yard = 0.9 m 1 mile = 1.6 km 1 pound = 0.45 kg 1 teaspoon = 5 ml 1 cup = 0.24 l 32 degrees F = degrees C (freezing point) The metric system has been around for 300 years. France was instrumental in its creation and in 1795 was the first country to adopt it (though in the early 1800s, the emperor Napoleon briefly set it aside in favor of the old system of measurement). The United States remains one of the few countries that has not yet adopted the metric system as the standard for measurement.
