California urged to switch to metric system with cold turkey
Burt C. Kendall, head of the California Metric Committee, told the state Board of Education that education should lead the United States to a metric nation within a decade. He urged eliminating dualism soon, noting 11 percent of U.S. manufacturers use metric to some degree and Australia converted abruptly while Britain delayed education. Remnants of customary units would remain on fields but most measurements would be metric.
