Abstract
DR. L. HABTSHOBN has written an interesting progress review on this subject (J. Inst. Elect. Eng., 89, Pt. 1, No. 24; Dec. 1942). Following introductory paragraphs dealing with the general character of measurement, an account is given of the more recent experimental researches of the standardizing laboratories, and of the present legal and international position of the various electrical units. The review is presented under the headings of units and standards, fundamental and derived measurements, the absolute system and the international position. The section on the absolute system deals with the measurement of inductance, current, resistance and voltage, capacitance and quantity of electricity, power and energy, practical standards, and frequency. The remarks relating to the international position give prominence to the M.K.S. system.
