Dear John, I congratulate you on your approach to metrication that you have shown here.
I agree with you that your engineers and machinists get a little more comfortable with SI and metric every time they use it. It is probably true that practice is the best approach to metrication by practical people. Cheers and best wishes for your project, Pat Naughtin LCAMS Geelong, Australia -- on 2004-04-18 09.24, J.
