[Tigers] Hat/Lapel Pins: "Ft-Lbs Forever"

[Rense, Mark (GE, Appl & Light)]

Awe Mayf, you know I'm just funnin' ya! Metric units are the standard in our
business and has been for many years, even the ANSI standards for Lighting are
all in metric units of measurement.

However, I and most of us motorheads will always think of engine torque in
terms of Ft-Lbs!

PS - I'll take 10 pins myself.

I happen to agree with that notion as well. If that's what you grew up with I
am a happy camper if you use that.  I can use it interchangeably with ft-lbs
with no issues. My problem is using pound feet vs foot pounds in the
terminology. And as archaic as you seem to think that is, then I guess the
rules of math don't count for much do they?

Good on ya...so how many ft - lbs one do you want?

Why stop there, how about a Cubit-Stone ??  (1 Cub-Stn = 21 Ft-Lbs)

Then there's always my favorite: Furlongs per Fortnight (used to measure the
pace of snails and small English cars from the '50's).

This converts to 1 F/F =  0.00037 MPH.


Newton-Meters forever!

A few weeks ago I was having fun with ft-lbs vs pounds feet terminology One
of the list members said, Hey, we can get pins made!  ft-lbs forever!.  So
why not?



If I had a few zillion of them made, would any of you purchase them?
Printing seems to be fairly cheap, but, not free, lol.  A > inch pin at 500
quantity runs about $1.25 or so each.   I could have that many made but as
you can see that would be about 750 bucks and I really, really dont want to
eat that much at all if nobody buys them. I would send them out at my cost
plus shipping or mail or carrier pigeon.



So, any interest out  there and for how many pins so I can try and make a good
decision which doesnt kill my pocket book
