Abstract
STANDARDS provide the foundation for the intelligent co-ordination of all physical measurements. The refinement with which this co-ordination may be carried out rests fundamentally upon the precision with which the values of these standards are known and the extent to which they are utilized by research men in expressing their experimental results. The present volume of ten papers on standards shows the fidelity with which the National Physical Laboratory is carrying out its functions in establishing standards of measurement worthy of the name.
