To their great resentment, the order went to a German firm at a figure slightly above their bid, and thereafter no attempt was made to expand their territory into South America. And yet the reason was based on pure misunderstanding of the desired market. The drawings accompanying the American bid showed scales of ounces and pounds, yards, feet, and inches. In a country which uses the metric system the natural thing to do was to award to the specification bidder, to whom they already owed money, even at a slightly higher price.
