I have often wondered what measurement system was used in Hawaii before it
became a US State in the early 1960s. Does anyone know?

Back in June I got stuck with the dirty job of having to attend an NSF
grantees conference, in of all places, Honolulu. So I managed,
particularly
considering it was being paid for out of the grant.
When the conference was over I was stuck in Honolulu on a Thursday night,
with not much on the calendar for the following week as it was a short
week
due to 4th July. So I made the best of a bad situation, and spent a few
days on the Big Island, Maui, and Kauai. <g>
In the course of the week I noticed a lot of metric road signs, which I've
attached. More general pictures are at
