Abstract
THIS work is intended for inspectors and others interested in the administration of the Weights and Measures Acts. Under the Act of 1904 the Board of Trade was empowered to examine as regards material and principle of construction such patterns of weights, measures, weighing or measuring instruments as might be submitted to it, and to issue certificates in cases where the patterns were found not to facilitate fraud. From time to time the Board issues notices setting forth its decisions with respect to such submissions, and the writers of the present volume have collected together the first fifty of these notices and publish them with criticisms and explanatory notes.
