OF THE
COMMISSIONERS
Appointed by HIS MAJESTY
to consider the Subject of
WEIGHTS
MAY
AND
MEASURES.
IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY,
WE, the Commissioners appointed by Your Majesty, for the
purpose of considering how far it may be practicable and
advisable, to establish, within Your Majesty's dominions, a more uniform
system of WEIGHTSand MEASURES,
have examined, since our-last
Report, the relation of the best authenticated Standards of Length at
present in existenbe, to the instruments employed for measuring the
base on Hounslow Heath, and in the late trigonometrical operations.-But we have very unexpectedly discovered, that an error has been committed in the construction of some of those instruments : We are therefore
obliged to recur to the originals which they were intended to represent,
and we have found reason to prefer the Parliamentary Standard
executed by Bird in 1760, which we had not before received, both as
being laid down in the most accurate manner, and as the best agreeing
with the most extensive comparisons, which have been hitherto executed
by various observers, and circulated throughout Europe ; and in particular with the scale employed by the late Sir George Shuckburgll.
4
SECOND REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS
We have therefore now to propose, that this Standard be considered as
the foundation of all legal Weights and Measures, and that it be declared,
that the length of the pendulum vibrating semnds in a vacuum, on the
level of the sea, in London, is ?g. 13999-inches, and that of the French
metre, 99.37079 inches, the English standards being employed at
62" of ~ahrenheit.
9.-We
have annexed to this Report an Appendix, containing a
comparison of different customary Weights and Measures, and an
explanation of provincial and other terms relating to them ; and we
propose at a future time, ta make a further Report respecting the
existing Standards of Weight.
