Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, Vol. 2: Methods of Measurements and Application
We need not dwell here on the measurement of rectilinear lengths, nor on that of weight; these are the most frequent physical operations, and they present no particular difficulty when we do not attempt to reach the ultimate limits of accuracy. We shall restrict ourselves to mentioning some of the corrections which they necessitate.
