U S Moves Slowly Toward Metric System
The United States progresses toward metrication with liquor bottlers shifting to metric sizes, soda testing one liter containers, and many states adding metric signs. The Metric Conversion Act of 1975 created a 17 member U S Metric Board to guide voluntary changes and standardize metric language. The Education Office has funded 2.1 million dollars for metric instruction with grants to schools and communities. The National Bureau of Standards offers metric information through its Metric Information Office in Washington D C.
