Abstract: A major move towards universal adoption of the metric system of weights and measures was initialed in 1965 when the United Kingdom embarked on a lO-year program of metric conversion. Following the lead of the U.K. other commonwealth countries initiated similar metric conversion programs. As a resuli. South Africa will be substantially metric this vear.Auslralia and New Zealand by 1976 and the U.K. .sometime this decade. Conversion in Britain has advanced steadily in the engineering industries. A number of factors however have slowed progress in the consumer goods area and accordingly the 1975 target date is not likely to be met.
