Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Precision Measurement and Calibration: Selected Nbs Papers on Mechanics
Some of the papers in Handbook 77 are still useful, but new theoretical knowledge, improved materials, and increasingly complex experimental techniques have so advanced the art and science of measurement that 'a new compilation has become necessary. The present volume is part of a new reprint collection, designated nbs Special Publication 300, which has been planned to fill this need. Besides previously published papers by the nbs staff, the collection includes selected abstracts by both nbs and non-nbs authors. It is hoped that SP 300 will serve both as.a textbook and as a reference source for the many scientists and engineers who fill responsible positions in standards laboratories.
