@this.day.in.history24: On December 23, 1975, U.S. President Gerald Ford signed the Metric Conversion Act into law, encouraging the gradual adoption of the metric system in the United States. While the law did not mandate the use of metric units, it promoted voluntary conversion in sectors like science, industry, and government, marking a significant step toward standardizing measurements. 📏⚖️ #MetricConversion #GeraldFord #Innovation #OnThisDay #USeconomy #History #worldhistory
