so i think the matrix system
would be a wonderful thing for the United States and for um United States being able to trade more easy with other people in the world
as the world economy become much more global
just having a standard system of measurement especially one that easy to calculate where G not become one and all kinds of nice stuff like that is
just a wonderful advantage
yeah i i agree with you there
the metric system is very good i'm um i'm um
do drafting i'm i'm a engineer and i've done drawing and and have to do calculation of fluid mechanics and thing
oh right yeah so you get
and if you ever have to try to do four different conversions to to to try and all four different type of system with gravitational constant
that's exactly right
and it it just goes it just goes on and on
another thing thing is that when doing your drawing you can scale them so much easier thing because their increment of ten's so much easier
i remember
right
i mean your your life is just uh so much easier i
i really think that what can be done differently
is that it's it's to ingrain in our society to shift it all our prototype all our our mode our template our bolts our threads everything
that's right the tools are that's the expensive thing
the tooling the tooling is is so is so uh in in our system that it just it it just going to take a lot to move it away
that right if you think that every garage corner garage has to buy a whole new set of tools
well most of them have the matrix set now but it's it's it's uh i think it's more in the the the the bolts and threads and stuff it self i mean the
the screw machine and stuff that makes all those thing they're just they cost millions of you know thousand hundred of thousand's of dollars and thing and that's
and i guess maybe they could be resented some of them could be resented but the company the business community just doesn't want to do that i think what really needs to be done is that they need to be educated that in the long run their life is going to be so much easier
right but not only will their life would be easier easier they'll be able to make more money selling things abroad
oh exactly also the trade you're you're exactly right
yeah it's uh we need to do that
and uh as i said the the main thing you know like just in the calculation the the
i know i most calculation i remember when i took fluid mechanics and
i the professor was telling us how he wanted us to give the answer and i was he said he wanted them the answer in the English system because the engineers needed to know how to use the English system
exactly
i i treat to give my answer in toundar
in what
toundar which is a um toundar T O U N D A R
oh okay i know what that is yeah
so he he didn't like that very much
yeah it's it's
you know and then that each individual company has their own set of guidelines they they they use
but we our our society in the United State in the global in in the world
and the economic seem that nobody really wants to be
compatible with everybody else we started out with the computers
and we've we've had to fight tooth and nail just to get them to be some what compatible and they're all just going off and all different all these different directions
right
right
and i guess one of the problem is is that the goal isn't to produce produce
produce the technology the goal is to produce the buck the the all mighty dollar is so powerful that it just it it just control our destiny
well there's always the conflict between innovation and standardization
and they're it's always going to be true that the most advantage advance thing and the thing that has the highest performance for any given
application are going to be non standard
um-hum
but
for the general everyday things that have been worked out
the standardization is such an advantage
so and something like what side of the road you drive on
um-hum
i guess there was a time when that had to be worked out
and
before very many people were driving it wasn't a problem
um-hum um-hum
yeah well i guess
so you just
yeah i guess that's that's true
i really like first thought i can't really think of what the different would be the different has to do with uh
