Hello all,

A question for those  experts in Canadian topographic maps.  We're doing an inventory of our 1:50,000 NTS set and we've come across quite a number of sheets that have the words "metric" and "metrique" along the top edge of the map.  The one's we're looking at are for the NWT, b&w (grayscale), printed in different years and have differing edition statements.  Some have this "statement" while other don't.  I was wondering if there was some significance to having the map say it's in metric vs not having it on the sheet?  When I compare the two types I can't see any difference but I could be missing something.

Thanks,

Dennis
