<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 1288682, member: 307&quot;]And you are in the sole field that uses the metric system in the United states. The metric measurements that you see on products are largely for foreign manufacturers or consumers. In the 1970s the US was set to convert with the rest of the world (they had gone so far as to start posting speed limit signs with both miles and km on them), then 1977 came and suddenly it got put on hold and here we sit with Great Britain still on the SAE system.&nbsp; They only taught us the system for scientific measurements and I would think that by the time I die, that we would finally have switched over, but I ain&#039;t gonna bet anything on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
