Post Body
While this article starts out talking about the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska, the glacier is named for Thomas Mendenhall, the superintendent of weights and measures, who issued the 1893 Mendenhall Order establishing the policy (and initial values) of defining US Customary in terms of metric equivalents, rather than independent physical standards. The article changes to a brief and interesting history of his life.
