Memorial on Metric System Savings Across Government
A memorial presented to Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, then Chancellor, in March 1859 argues that adopting the metric system would save about £10,000 annually for the London and North Western Railway and at least £500,000 yearly across government departments. It claims competent authorities support the figures and asserts widespread savings across markets and businesses as measurements replace words with standardized quantities.
