Dear NEC-lister,

Any that are determined not to metricate may find the following
information useful. The velocity of light in furlongs per fortnight is
1.80*10**12. While not in widespread engineering use, this well
pedigreed imperial unit does have a certain poetic appeal.

Sincerely,
Harry E. Green
