First Guide Published on
Metric Conversion System
In anticipation of the conversion to the metric system in the United States, J.J. Keller & Associates, Inc., Neenah, Wis., has announced publication of the Metric System Guide / Volume 1. This is believed to be the only such reference in the U.S. and deals with orientation and structure of metrication in this nation.
The executive binder edition provides the basic background information necessary for understanding and evaluating the problems involved in metrication for America.
The Metric System Guide parallels the announcement by such major industries as General Motors, International Harvester and the California School System to go metric. Its planning, research and development have been several years in the making.
From introduction to glossary, the first volume contains 15 comprehensive parts designed for specific background in metrology. It is first in a series of volumes on the metric system to be used individually or collectively.
According to Keller & Associates, the Guide will be continually updated. Another exclusive feature will be the addition of a monthly updating publication called the Metric System Guide Bulletin designed to present current metric information.
A descriptive brochure about the new Guide may be obtained by writing J.J. Keller & Associates, Inc., 145 W. Wisconsin Ave., Neenah, Wis. 54956.
