Rod,
Thanks for your comments but:
If you do practical work with metric you would know THAT metric bolt will not be a 15 or 17 mm!!
The system uses preferred values (just like electrical resistors)14,16,19mm. The threads are also of standard pitches and depths.
The Furlong - the distance a pair of oxen could pull a plough before getting tired (and needing a turn). Good old fashioned variable measure!
Check up for NASA's excuse for losing that probe.
Multiply your spray rates by 2.4. You will probably find they all work out to integer values.
Do you spread fertiliser using kilograms per 4840 square yards, or kilograms per hectare?
And don't forget, of course, a gallon is not always a gallon depending on where you are.
Even the British Government realised in the sixties that decimalisation of our currency was needed, but even though everywhere in the UK should by now have adopted the kilogram as a unit
of weight, there are many who can not bear to let go of that silly lb. or are unable to grasp the advantages of a unified metric system. Or simply are not willing to change.
Regards, RAB
Oh, btw we will still be left with the computer having 1024 bytes per kilobyte (hexadecimal)!!
