Abstract: It has been said that the history of measurement is the history of mans struggle to understand what his neighbor meant when he was talking of quantity, and then to agree with that neighbor on a description that would have the same meaning for a third party. Before reviewing the status of the metric system (SI), that both our countries are implementing on a voluntary basis, I believe it is important to review a little of that history of measurement that has led to this decision to change from the Imperial or British system to the metric system. Initially to barter, man had to invent systems of measurement to help him in what he was buying and selling.
