Abstract
THE present writer's original letter was phrased with scrupulous care to limit consideration to the single proposition that consistency cannot be maintained in dynamical equations if gravity units are used in expressing, inertia forces, in particular not by merging explicit g in the slug. An example was given so conclusive as to elicit, it was hoped, Prof. Bairstow's own explanation of the statement cited from his text-book.
