    Can Hertz be imperial or are they strictly metric?

      I think there’s something like 43/500ths of a Bigole Hertz to a regular Hertz; but that’s if you’re using English Bigoles. I think it’s 43.9/500ths for a US Bigole.

      I’m American and I’ve never seen any other unit used for frequency unless you count adjectives like “daily”.

      RPM (revolutions per minute) is an old rotational measure

      But the second is the same in both systems so I wouldn’t be surprised if America called revs per second “Hertz”
