To the Editor:
J. Wm. Batchelder has missed the point: The metric system of measure offers a simple method of converting its units by the movement of a decimal point. It is based on accepted units of measure in all scientific fields, and is more than just a unit of length - it is an entire logical system.
The metric system can and does make initial design more economical. Even if we exported nothing, the system is still superior to the imperial system, which England abandoned years ago.JOS. WOLF Rockville Centre, L.I., Feb. 1, 1987
