My wife recently purchased for me, via shopgoodwill.com, an informally
assembled metric handbook for Chrysler. It is bound in a cardboard
binder (the type with two long prongs that fold over and are held down
by sliders) and it comprises several sections. The first three sections are:
_SI Metric Handbook: Units, Terms, and Conventions_ (June 1975)
_Chrysler: Interim Guidelines for Metrication_ (June 1973)
_Chrysler: SI Metric: Style Manual_ (no date)
Then follow miscellaneous Special Bulletins, advice articles, tables of
data, etc. The three sections listed above also contain many tables,
notably conversion "look-up" tables (as opposed to tables of conversion
factors).
One thing that caught my eye is that some documents spell it meter and
some spell it metre. One section provides detailed specifications for
metric fasteners. I look forward to having time to peruse this find!
She paid $6 for it plus a few dollars for shipping. I think she said
that a total of 6 such handbooks were available; maybe some still are.
