Abstract
THERE can be but few physicists better entitled than Dr. H. L. Curtis to write on fundamental electrical measurements. As an associate of Rosa, Dr. Curtis has witnessed the development of high-precision work on electric units at the National Bureau of Standards, Washington, and since then he has never ceased to improve existing methods, and to devise new methods in an effortand a successful oneto increase the accuracy of determination of electric units.
