How pirates stole the metric system from America - photos

[Frank S]

Is your town’s measuring system included here?


J.H. Alexander, Universal Dictionary of Weights and Standards, Baltimore 1850

What a way to make your brain bleed early in the morning
I knew I shouldn't have downloaded the book. before I had finished my morning coffee.
The first thing that happened was to begin and try to build a correlation 1 unit of measure with another which can only be done if you have a set of standards for each town or country's descriptive measurements.
Now that all of the arterial fluid has evaporated from my cranium I think I'll just forget the whole mess and stick with using either the metric or imperial units when ever the requirement arises
But thanks for the link just the same.
