Synopsis

""The Metric Fallacy"" is a book written by Frederick Halsey in 1919 that investigates the claims made for the metric system and questions the necessity of its adoption in the interest of export trade. Halsey argues against the idea that the metric system is superior to other systems of measurement and provides evidence to support his claims. He also examines the practicality of converting to the metric system and the potential costs and complications that could arise from such a change. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and debate surrounding the use of the metric system in international trade.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
