In line with the industry's
changeover to metric,

The bulletin points out
that a mere arithmetical or
-soft. conversion from
currently used yard/pound
values to metric units would
not only defeat the purpose
of the industry’s plan,
prolong the transition period
and therefore increase costs,
but would also require a
second change to hard

metric values in a relatively ,
short time. In addition, soft-

conversion will prevent any
advantage being taken of the
many benefits of the SI
system, including § sinipler
and more accurate
calculations, reduced in-
ventories, shorter design
time and easier unit costing.

Conversion to rational,
hard metric dimensions by
applicants for NHA
assistance, will facilitate the
availability of hard-

converted metric materials :
