[Boatanchors] Fw: Re: SI units and the rest

[J. Forster]

I've used the Wiki page on ARC-5s and found it to be really a very useful

No, it is not a substitute for a shelf full of (unobtanable) manuals, but
it's a hell of a lot better than the "Surplus Conversion Manuals" for
example.

FWIW,

-John
