Wikipedia is wrong!  The term "Hertz" was adopted in October of 1933 by
the International Electrotechnical Commission.  Now it was not generally
used in the United States until the 1960s.  But, the term definitely was
adopted in 1933.

See

http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/263882/hertz

for details.  Frankly, I respect the Encyclopedia Britannica MUCH more
than Wikipedia!

Nope. It was adopted in the 1970s when units were reorganized into the
SI system. See:
