Mercury Barometers and Manometers (open access)

Mercury Barometers and Manometers

From Abstract: "Sources of error in measuring pressures are described in considerable detail, particularly for portable instruments including scale, temperature , gravity, capillarity, vacuum errors and return gas column. Methods of minimizing those errors and of making the corrections, including extensive tables, are presented."

Calibration of Line Standards of Length and Measuring Tapes at the National Bureau of Standards (open access)

Calibration of Line Standards of Length and Measuring Tapes at the National Bureau of Standards

From Abstract: "The methods used at the National Bureau of Standards in calibrating line standards of length and measuring tapes submitted for standardization are outlined. The equipment used is described briefly. There is a discussion of some considerations that should be given as to whether or not a standard should be submitted to the Bureau."

Systems of Electrical Units (open access)

Systems of Electrical Units

Report describing the various systems of measurement used in the literature on electricity and magnetism, with respect to their units. Their historical development is summarized. The manner in which each is derived from either of the two alternative points of view of the experimentalist and the theoretician is compared and contrasted. Tables are included for the conversion of equations and numerical values from one system to another.
