That was the information I knew as well. 1933. (But just because I share
a name, does not make me an expert on the subject!)

Wikipedia is wrong!  The term "Hertz" was adopted in
October of 1933 by the International Electrotechnical
Commission.  Now it was not generally used in the
United States until the 1960s.  But, the term
definitely was adopted in 1933.

See

for details.  Frankly, I respect the Encyclopedia
Britannica MUCH more than Wikipedia!

Nope. It was adopted in the 1970s when units were
