+ALTHOUGH THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT YET GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO JANUARY 1977 AS THE DATE FOR MANDATORY METRICATION, ANY FIRM WHICH DOES NOT QUICKLY FACE UP TO THE PROBLEMS OF CONVERSION TO METRIC UNITS WILL FIND ITSELF IN DIFFICULTIES WHEN COMPULSORY METRIC SUBMISSIONS BECOME LAW.
+OF COURSE CONSIDERABLE WORK AND RESEARCH ON THE SUBJECT HAS BEEN DONE WITHIN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND IF ANY FIRM HAS ANY PROBLEMS OR NEEDS FURTHER INFORMATION, THE METRICATION OFFICER OF THE BUILDINGS ORDINANCE OFFICE WILL BE GLAD TO HELP.+
MR. KENNARD ADDED: +REGISTERED CONTRACTORS WILL BE SUPPLIED WITH A COPY OF THE SCHEDULE OF METRIC EQUIVALENTS WHEN THEY ARE APPOINTED TO CARRY OUT WORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH PLANS WHICH HAVE BEEN APPROVED USING METRIC UNITS.
+EVERYBODY, PARTICULARLY THOSE IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY, MUST NOW START TO THINK METRIC''!+
