Line 39: :The sequence distance-force was common in the old metric "meter-kilograms" and "centimeter-kilograms", more common than "kilogram-meters", the order common for energy. (I have a torque wrench in "meter kilograms", for example.) Google can find several of them as well. :Both "pound-feet" (lbf·ft) and "foot-pounds" (ft·lbf) are in common use, as you discovered. Some experts and style guides recommend the former to distinguish the units of torque from the units of energy/work, a different quantity. See [http://www.sporttruck.com/techarticles/0312st_hp/ this], for example. But there is much less of a sense of generally accepted rules for the English units (or for the old metric units, for that matter) than there is with SI.
