Excerpt from A Metric America: A Decision Whose Time Has Come In 1821 Adams did give serious attention to the metric system as an alternative for adoption. Yet, although he believed it approached the ideal perfection of uniformity applied to weights and measures, he rejected it because he felt that the time was not right for it. Most of our trade was with inch-pound England, and the metric system was not even firmly established in France, let alone the rest of the world. Better to wait, he pointed out, until a uniform international measurement system could be worked out. Adams' conditions have now been met: the world has committed itself to the metric system, and even in the United States its use is increasing. For America, it is a decision whose time has come. Three years ago the Congress asked for a sweeping investigation of the metric question (see inside front cover), because it sensed that the world trend toward metric called for a new assessment. The investigation progressed over a dozen different avenues involving public hearings, supplemented by surveys on international trade, business and industry, education, national security - almost every activity in our society. This volume evaluates and distills all of that, and also covers what has been learned from the British, who are just past the midpoint of their metric changeover period; the Australians, who are beginning theirs; the Canadians, who have decided to go metric, too; the Japanese, who finished conversion ten years ago; and the thousands of individuals who spoke and corresponded with us during the course of the u.s.
