A revelation!  Does that mean my CMA topographic maps now give longitude and
latitude in degrees, feet and inches, and metric measures really weren't
intruduced in '73 (damn there it is again)?

By the way is it an apostrophe or an inverted comma - or does it just happen
to have more than one name and more than one use?
