This Study was authorized by Public Law 90-472 to reduce the many un- certainties concerning the metric issue and to provide a better basis upon which the Congress may evaluate and resolve it. I shall make a final report to the Congress on this Study in August 1971. In the meantime, the data and opinions contained in this interim report are being evaluated by the Study team at the National Bureau of Standards. My final report to you will reflect this evaluation. Respectfully submitted, Secretary of Commerce Enclosure iii LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Honorable Maurice H. Stans Secretary of Commerce Dear Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to transmit to you another interim report of the U.S. Met- ric Study, which is being conducted at the National Bureau of Standards at your request and in accordance with the Metric Study Act of 1 968. The Study is exploring the subjects assigned to it with great care. We have tried to reach every relevant sector of the society to elicit their views on the metric issue and their estimates of the costs and benefits called for in the Metric Study Act. Moreover, all of these sectors were given an opportunity to testify in the extensive series of Metric Study Conferences that were held last year. On the basis of all that we have been able to learn from these conferences, as well as the numerous surveys and investigations, a final report will be made to you before August 1971 for your evaluation and decision as to any recommendations that you may wish to make to the Congress. The attached interim report includes data and other opinions that are still being evaluated by us to determine their relationship and significance to all of the other information that has been elicited by the Study. All of these evaluations will be reflected in the final report. Sincerely, Lewis M. Branscomb, Director National Bureau of Standards Enclosure IV . FOREWORD This report explores the probable effects of a metric changeover on com- mercial weights and measures activities. It primarily concerns two aspects of commercial weights and measures that would have to be dealt with in any metric changeover: (1) The cost of adapting or changing commercial weighing and measur- ing devices to record and/or indicate in metric units. (2) The effects of metrication on state and local weights and measures jurisdictions. Reports covering other substudies of the U.S. Metric Study are listed on the inside front cover. All of these, including this report, are under evalua- tion. Hence, they are published without prejudice to the comprehensive re- port on the entire U.S. Metric Study, which will be sent to the Congress by the Secretary of Commerce in August of 1 97 1 This report was prepared by Mr. Stephen L. Hatos of the Office of Weights and Measures, National Bureau of Standards. The Office of Weights and Measures is grateful for the contributions made by the Scale Manufacturers Association, the Gasoline Pump Manufacturers Association, the National Scale Men's Association, and the Task Force on Metrication of the National Conference on Weights and Measures. In this as in all aspects of the U.S. Metric Study, the program has benefited from the independent judgment and thoughtful counsel of its ad- visory panel and the many other organizations, groups, and committees that have participated in the Study.

Identify and describe the impacts (cost, time, etc.) of changing selected commercial weighing and measuring devices to record and/or indicate in metric units. 2. Analyze the problems that increased metric usage would have on state and local weights and measures jurisdictions (e.g., laws and regulations, test- ing equipment, and training programs). BACKGROUND Evidence indicates that evolutionary metrication in the commercial weights and measures area is unlikely. Consequently, it is felt that a national metrication program would be needed in order to advance the usage of met- ric units in this area. SUMMARY: FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS ATTITUDES TOWARD METRICATION A. Sixty-seven percent of the 15 weighing and measuring device manu- facturers responding to our industry questionnaires were in favor of metrica- tion; a like percentage, of the same respondents, were in favor of a mandato- ry metrication program based on legislation. I 2 COMMERCIAL WEIGHTS AND MEASURES B. Sixty-four percent of the 63 weights and measures jurisdictions responding to our jurisdiction questionnaire were in favor of metrication. BENEFITS OF METRICATION Device manufacturers, in fact, 73 percent of the respondents, and many weights and measures jurisdictions felt there would be benefits in using the metric system.

  • Cotton Outlook – July 2020
    Cotton Outlook – July 2020 Cotton Outlook – July 2020 World Cotton Scenario Global 2020-21 cotton area, production and productivity are projected at 33.50 million hectares (82.78 million acres), 118.70 million bales and 773 Kg/ha, which were nearly 4.5 and 3 percent less than that of 2019-20 estimates respectively. According to the Cotton and Wool Outlook, June estimates, India is the largest cotton producer in the world with 28.50 million bales compared to 30.50 million bales in previous year followed by China (26.50 million bales), United States (19.50 million bales), Brazil (12 million bales) and Pakistan (6.30 million bales). According to the trade sources, the Indian cotton exports for the May’20 were reported slightly higher around 2.5 lakh bales including organic cotton compared to the prior month. In May’20, most of the shipments that had been halted, resumed. Indian cotton being the cheapest in the international market, there was increased export demand during May and June and likely in July as well. Bangladesh was the largest importer of Indian cotton purchasing around 81,000 bales at an average FOB of $1.5/kg followed by China (65,680 bales at $1.36/kg), Vietnam (20,000 bales at $1.3/kg) and Turkey (11,000 bales at $1.3/kg). The other export destinations of India were Indonesia, Oman, Italy and Japan. International Cotton Price Movement Several benchmark prices drifted higher over the past month. Indian prices were stable. Pakistani prices decreased. The China Cotton Index (CC Index 3128B) increased from 73 to 78 cents/lb.

  • Determining Units of Measurements
    DETERMINING UNITS OF MEASUREMENTS Unit Overview In this unit you, will be choosing the correct tool to construct, measure, weigh and calculate. Both customary and metric units will be used. We can measure many different things, but mostly we measure Length, Area, Volume, Mass, and Time. Measure the Length The chart below shows the customary units of length. Customary Units of Length 12 inches (in) = 1 foot (ft) 3 feet (ft) = 1 yard (yd) 1,760 yards (yd) = 1 mile (mi) When completing the questions section, you may refer to the chart for reference. It would be wise to memorize this chart because you will use measurement for the rest of your life. An inch is the standard unit used to measure length. When measuring with a ruler, line up the end of the ruler with the end of the object you are measuring. inches Click on the link to watch the video "U.S. customary units: distance". The chart below shows the metric units of length. Metric Units of Length 100 centimeters (cm) = 1 meter (m) 1,000 meters (m) = 1 kilometer (km) Click on the link to watch the video "Metric system: units of distance". Length Kilometer (km) A kilometer is a distance that is about 7 blocks long. Kilometers are used to measure long distances. Meter (m) A meter is about as long as a baseball bat. A meter stick could be used to measure the length of a room. Centimeter (cm) A centimeter is about the width of the pinky finger. A centimeter is a little less than half an inch long.

    Glossary of Sanskrit Terms for the Ayurvedic Practitioner November 2004 by Ayurvedain toscana This reference guide evolved naturally out of our studies of Ayurveda and deepening interest in the original language of this sacred science. It was compiled with the loving intent of helping to make the ancient language of Sanskrit more accessible to students and practitioners of Ayurveda. This reference contains the terms used in the primary textbooks utilized by Ayurveda plus terms drawn from a variety of other sources. The language of Sanskrit is vast, and this guide represents only a starting point for one’s studies.

Winterbottom Submitted for PhD examination University of London July 2010 2 ABSTRACT I explore how knowledge was created and circulated in and between the settlements of the early English East India Company. I aim: to demonstrate connections between scholarship and early colonialism; to highlight the role of non-elite actors in transferring skills and techniques; and to map global knowledge networks based on systems of patronage that cut across national, ethnic, and social boundaries. Chapter 1 uses the life of Samuel Baron, a half-Dutch, half-Vietnamese factor, spy, and broker for the EIC, client of the rulers of Siam and Tonkin, and author of the Description of Tonqueen to examine the importance of passeurs culturels or go-betweens to both the European trading companies and Asian rulers in the period and their role in transmitting geographical and ethnographic information. Chapter 2 examines the local and international botanical and medical networks of two Company surgeons in Madras, based on collections in the Natural History Museum and the surgeons' correspondence with the apothecary James Petiver.
