Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of the Evolution of Weights and Measures and the Metric System In view of the fact that such a work has involved the use of a vast number of authorities, it is manifestly impossible to specify in detail other than in the notes the great indebtedness on the part of the authors to the labors of many famous metrologists. Naturally they have consulted freely the classic work of Mechain and Delambre, Base oln systeme Metrique; General Morin's Notice historigne sur le systeme Metm'gne; Bigourdan's Le systemc Metm'gne; Guillaume's' La Convention dn Metre; and his excellent little treatise on Unites et Etalons, as well as Benoit's Report on Standards of Length to the International Physical Congress of 1903. In addition they have used the various publications of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. For ancient weights and measures many sources have been consulted, while for English standards and metrology the works of Chisholm and Chaney have been found most helpful, but they have been supplemented by various papers of Parliamentary commissions and the Proceedings of scientific societies. In the United States the Reports and other papers of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the recently established National Bureau of Standards, and the Committees on Coinage, Weights and Measures, of the House of Representatives have formed a nucleus that has been supple mented by extensive reference to other scientific literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metric System of Weights and Measures Interest and value of the volume. The Metric System is now in common use in France, Germany, austria-hungary, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Bel gium, The Netherlands, Roumania, Servia, Egypt, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador, Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, The Argentine Republic, Haiti, and Santo Domingo. It has also been adopted officially by Venezuela, Uru guay, Turkey, and British India, although in these four countries it can hardly yet be said to be in common use. Japan, too. Has announced her intention of adopting a modified form of it, and even China has a decimal system of weights and measures, although it is not the French Metric Sys tem. England, Russia, and the United States are the only great nations that still refuse to adopt the Metric System. Its advantages are many, and the only really serious objection appears to be, that the change from our present units to the new ones would be more or less confusing and annoying for the first few years. Much of this annoyance and confusion could be pre vented by providing school children with cheap sets of metric measures and weights, and requiring each child to measure and weigh a certain number of objects every week. In this way the units and their. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-08-27 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Metric System of Weights and Measures The following was prepared to answer some of the more simple questions addressed to the Bureau of Standards in regard to the metric system of weights and measures and its use. The essential features of the system were embodied in a report made to the French National Assembly by the Academy of Sciences in 1791. A number of other nations were invited to cooperate with France in establishing the new system, and Holland, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, and several minor States were represented on an international commission which. Met in Paris in 1799 to accept the metric standards constructed under the direction of the French Institute. Although the metric system very soon attracted the favorable attention of other nations, it was not until forty years later that its use became general in France. Since 1840, however, its use has rapidly spread until at the present time it is either obligatory or permissive in every civilized country in the world. Its use was made lawful throughout the United States by act of Congress in I866, and at the same time provision was made to supply every State in the Union with a set of metric weights and measures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metric System: Explained and Adapted to the Systems of Instruction in the United States On the. 13th of May, 1863, a bill was prepared and brought in by members of that committee, by the terms of which the Metric System of weights and measures was introduced into Great Britain, and its use by the people made compulsory after three years. This bill was passed by the House of Com mons by a large majority, but does not appear to have been acted on by the House of Lords. At the next session (feb ruary, 1864) a bill was introduced by the same gentlemen which changed its purport from a compulsory to a permissive measure. This bill passed the House of Commons on the 29th of June, the House of Lords on the 21st of July, and became a law. The vote of the House of Commons approving a compel sory measure, and the subsequent enactment of a permissive law, must be regarded as evincing a deliberate intention to introduce the Metric System into England, and as giving up any purpose of creating a separate system founded upon the yard, the foot, or the inch and as paving the way for the ul timate exclusive adoption of the metric scheme.

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.

The history of the original Confederation of States and of the constitutional government of the United States reveals much evidence of the perplexities arising from the diversity of weights and measures among the States and of the desirability of a uniform system.
