Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of the Origin and Formation of the International Association: For Obtaining an Uniform Decimal System of Measures, Weights, and Coins The undersigned, members of the International Jury of the Uni versal Exhibition in Paris, or Commissioners sent by their respective Governments to this Exhibition, declare it to be their deliberate opi nion, that One of the methods best adapted to accelerate that happy movement, which brings all nations together in the paths of their industry, would be the adoption of a universal system of weights and measures. Such a system would resemble a common language, Spoken and understood in all parts of the world. Considering each country by itself, they are of Opinion that a large portion of valuable time would be saved to all persons engaged in industrial occupations, such as the heads of commercial houses and other establishments, engineers, clerks, and workmen, if this uniform System were decimal, the multiples and divisions of the units being formed by multiplying or dividing each other by ten. This saving of time would be still greater, if the different units denoting length, surface, bulk, weight, and money, were deducible from each other according to decimal relations between their elemen tary constituents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Weights and Measures Standards of the United States: A Brief History Throughout its early history, the United States Government showed extensive interest in uniform weights and measures; several efforts were made to secure international agreements in this field.

Download or read book On the Metric System of Weights and Measures Classic Reprint written by Nathan Fellowes Dupuis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Metric System of Weights and Measures That Great Britain is not ready to adopt the metric system is evidenced by the fact that quite recently the British Parliament rejected a bill proposing to make the metric system compulsory. If Canada is anxious to do something in the matter it might be well for her to give some attention to the present movement in the United States as expressed in a bill introduced into the House of Representatives by Mr. Towne. This bill prepares for a commission, to be made as representative as possible, and to be empowered to consider and investigate not only the metric system, but the whole question of weights and measures, and to invite Great Britain, and hence her colonies, to join forces with the United States in the investigation. Such a commission would evidently arrive at such conclusions as would be worthy of serious consideration.
