Interesting book about the start of the meter. Lots of controversy over the years as to when to adopt this measurement in the US.
So much easier to use not only in manufacturing but overseas. Hope US jumps on this soon, so much more accurate when measuring knitting also, not just food and liquids.
Liked the part about when the coal miners would weigh the coal brought up vs the weight they bought at the store-2 totally different measurements.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). (
