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 syst???me M???trique; General Morin's Notice historigne sur le syst???me M???tm'gne; Bigourdan's Le syst???mc M???tm'gne; Guillaume's' La Convention dn M???tre; and his excellent little treatise on Unit???s 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.
