What reading level is The Metric Versus the English System of Weights And Measures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Medicine and pharmacy require a minute- ness of measurement to which the smaller units of the metric system are well suited. This is likewise true of the manufacture of small or delicate instruments and products such as watches, in which industries the millimeter (about 1/25 as large as the inch) is regarded by some as a better basic measure to use, although many manufacturers of minute parts prefer the use of hundredths and thousandths of an inch. 1 In the engineering professions, however, a d...ifferent situation obtains than in the field of pure science, in that the interests of the scientist and calculator must be weighed against the interests of the manufacturer, whom the problem affects in an entirely different way; i.e., the engineer must combine theoretical considerations with practical ones. The engineering professions in the United States are as a whole opposed to a compulsory change from the English to the metric system, although certain individual engineers favor it.
In brief, a considerable demand for a change in systems of weights and measures in the United States comes from the scientific group and from those engaged in the manufacture of refined instruments and products, but this sentiment is not shared very much by the engineering professions.
