Unlike D Day, 15 February 1971, when there was a changeover to a decimal system of currency, there is no M Day, by which time industry must be prepared to go metric. It is therefore entirely up to individual firms to decide when they will go metric, and how long a period of time they will allow to enable metrication to be phased in. Nevertheless, it is expected that the bulk of British industry will have voluntarily adopted metric working by the end of 1975. In general, the decision will undoubtedly be influenced by customers' requirements on the one hand, and by the suppliers of raw materials and tools on the other. In some cases, however, firms may be prompted to change by the Port of London Authority's insistence on marking export orders in metric units. Whatever the motivation, once the decision has been taken one of the foremost items in any metrication programme must be that of training, which immediately raises the questions who will need training when will they need training how will they be trained to what extent
