Metric Training and Education

摘要

The US began actively converting to metric units in the federal government in accordance with the Metric Conversion Act of 1975. This act is still the law of the land, though presidents and Congress have been ignoring its provisions since the Reagan administration of the 1980s. It was then that the US was on the verge of implementing the use of degrees Celsius and related metric meteorological units, and the media were going to follow in that conversion.
