feet per sec X 0.508 = meters per sec

This from the 1987 SSA MEMBERSHIP HANDBOOK.

Haven't seen an updated book in 20 years. It has lots of useful information,
like this in it.

1 meter =39.37 inches. Methinks someone screwed up, like JJ. Maybe
try .3048, just seems to agree with fact, and good math, not new math,
not french math, either. Nautical mile 6080 feet, as against 5280 for
statute mile.

nautical mile - statute mile =1.1515

statute mile - nautical mile = .8684
