Abstract
AFTER a delay of many years, the establishment of a laboratory for the maintenance in Australia of standards of length, mass, electrical units, etc., has been approved by the Commonwealth Government. It will probably be placed at Canberra, the estimated cost of the building being £80,000. The administration will be in the hands of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, which will maintain intimate contact with the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington in general accordance with a plan drawn up some ten years ago.
