Hey everyone.

I've a question regarding the proper or most clear way of expressing some
measurements.

The sentence in question reads like so:

"Run the product between 50-51 feet per minute (15.24-15.54 meters per
minute)."

On later references, can I use "50-51 ft/min"? Or should it be "50-51
ft./min."? I've seen it different ways in different style books, and I'm
more concerned with what will be clearest for the reader. (There are a
kizillion directions like this on a single page.)

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
