Xerox. GM, John Deere, Chrysler, Ford, Caterpillar and IBM all use metric exclusively. Most of these companies converted to metric so many years ago (I did training sessions in the 1970's) that they don't print "metric" on their drawings anymore. They just assume the worker who reads the blueprints will know the measurements are all metric.
