=== Committee on Mechanical Nomenclature ===
In 1888, at a meeting of the British Association in [[Bath, Somerset|Bath]], the Committee on Mechanical Nomenclature suggested three new units: the kine for [[velocity]], equal to 1 [[centimeter]] per [[second]]; the bole for [[momentum]], equal to 1 [[gram]] times 1 kine; and the [[Barye|barad]] for [[pressure]], equal to 1 [[dyne]] per [[square centimeter]].<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Western_Electrician/v5dVAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=kine |title=Western Electrician |date=1888 |publisher=Electrician Publishing Company |language=en}}</ref>{{Rp|page=184}} The London ''Electrical Review'' called the new units "an abomination, and wholly unnecessary" and attributed their creation to a "craze" for naming new units.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Electrical_Review/fyEAAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22committee+on+mechanical+nomenclature%22&pg=PA330&printsec=frontcover |title=The Electrical Review |date=1888 |publisher=IPC Electrical-Electronic Press,. |language=en}}</ref>{{Rp|page=330}} [[William Henry Preece]] noted in 1891 that he had only seen one instance of use of the new units.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Telegraphic_Journal_and_Electrical_R/zUJlmDMmc2AC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22kine%22+%22bole%22+%22barad%22&pg=PA506&printsec=frontcover |title=The Telegraphic Journal and Electrical Review |date=1892 |publisher=Henry Gillman |language=en}}</ref>{{Rp|page=506}} By 1913, the units had fallen entirely out of use.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_National_Engineer/KslSDuMMt4UC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22kine%22+%22bole%22+%22barad%22&pg=PA345&printsec=frontcover |title=The National Engineer |date=1913 |publisher=National Association of Stationary Engineers |language=en}}</ref>{{Rp|page=344}}
