Talk:Decimal hour

This entire article is full of factual errors. It is not even "metric hour", but decimal hour. It was never part of the metric system, nor ever called "metric hour". The 1793 decree stated:


 * XI. Le jour, de minuit à minuit, est divisé en dix parties ou heures, chaque partie en dix autres, ainsi de suite jusqu’à la plus petite portion commensurable de la durée. La centième partie de l'heure est appelée minute décimale; la centième partie de la minute est appelée seconde décimale.

Translated:


 * XI. The day, from midnight to midnight, is divided into ten parts or hours, each part into ten others, so on until the smallest measurable portion of the interval. The hundredth part of the hour is called decimal minute; the hundredth part of the minute is called decimal second.

And what does "The name of the unit was something like Chron" refer to? Clearly the writer has no clue. It also has nothing to do with the grade. -- Nike 07:43, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Moved
I moved "Metric hour" to "Decimal hour" and edited it accordingly. However, I am thinking that this does not warrant a seperate article, as it's already covered in the decimal time article. -- Nike 05:33, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
