[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] oh right yeah so you get
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] that's exactly right
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] I remember right
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] that's right the tools are that's the expensive thing
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] that right if you think that every garage corner garage has to buy a whole new set of tools
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] right but not only will their life would be easier easier they'll be able to make more money selling things abroad
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] exactly
[speaker002:] I I treat to give my answer in toundar
[speaker001:] in what
[speaker002:] toundar which is a um toundar T O U N D A R
[speaker001:] oh okay I know what that is yeah
[speaker002:] so he he didn't like that very much
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] right right
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
