Marketing's Role in the Change to the Metric System 

Frank W. Archer 

Journal of Marketing, Vol. 30, No. 4 (Oct., 1966), PP. 10-14 

 

Has this: "The British government's announcement on May 24, 1965 of a 

Decision to switch to the metric system of weights and measures during the 

Next ten years has far-reaching impact." 

 

This would include the Celsius scale, I would presume.
