Elementary, Mr. Watson A Designer's Dilemma—Metric or Imperial Units?
11/07/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonIn the early 1800s, as trains began to spread across the United States, different companies built their tracks in ways that made sense to them. They chose their track widths (gauges) with no set standard. Some tracks were about four feet wide, with others at five or even six feet. Each company thought their choice was best, but this led to a big problem: Trains from one track couldn't run on another if the gauges didn't match. Often, trains had to stop at the state line for all their goods and passengers to switch trains, which cost extra time and money.
