Use of the SI vs. cgm continues to be unsettled in many fields.

Whoops, that's "cgs" (centimeter, gram, second) not "cgm."

Boeing and metrcication question
 

Small Physics (particles and below) use CGS, real world uses MKS.
Since CGS is the fundamental units it takes over.

I added a rather large list of non-unit names in this group.
Such is life.

Thank you one and all... but my question remains unanswered. Has Boeing gone
metric?

If Boeing is behind schedule on the dreamliner due to rivet shortages caused
by huge orders from Airbus... and these things are measured and made to US
standards... well?
