Urgent push for metric system to boost U S exports
The Commerce Department says U S industry could gain about 500 million dollars annually by adopting metric standards. Britain moved to metric in 1965, leaving the U S as one of the few non metric nations. A 10 year conversion bill passed Senate last year but died in House. A similar measure is reintroduced, urging swift action to align with global customers and improve competitiveness.
