Metric System Coming?
It may be just a matter of time
before America goes “metric”
and does its talking and figuring
in terms of kilograms, meters,
and centimeters instead of
pounds, yards, and inches.
The United States is the last
industrialized nation not to
commit itself fully to the adoption
of the metric system The
National Bureau of Standards of
the Department of Commerce
has recently recommended

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 1,1972 —
nationwide conversion from our
present English system of
weights and measures to the
metric system
Extension home management
specialists at Penn State point out
that metrication has already
been adopted by some portions of
American life Every time you
buy a light bulb or pay an electric
bill, you go metric The watt, volt
and kilowatt-hour are all metric
units The pharmaceutical in-
dustry went almost completely
metric 15 years ago.
Many American businesses use
the metric system in connection
with their export operations
Government agencies are
beginning to use metric units
outside their research labs.
Owners of foreign-made cars can
virtually take the cars’ metric
nature for granted
A recent issue of a well-known
commercial pattern book carried
measurements and yardage
requirements in inches and yards
and in centimeters and meters
There are many reasons given
for the proposed change from the
English sytem to the metric
system That the English system
is cumbersome is just one of
them
The English system grew out of
a process of tradition and
folklore, rather than from
silence The inch was standarized
centures ago as being the length
of three-well-dried barley corns
from the middle of the ear, laid
end to end. A yard was the
distance from the tip of the nose
to the tip of the middle finger on
the outstretched arm of King
Edgar.
By international agreement,
the metric units in use today are
defined in terms of the most
unvarying physical phenomena
that can be precisely measured.
It will take some time and
education for those of us who
have spent lifetimes buying by
the pound, square feet, linear
rods and other quantities to
become adjusted to the meter,
liter and gram. But a switch to
the metric system won’t be all
that difficult
