Excerpt from Standard Substances for the Calibration of Viscometers
The third measurement consisted of a polarization of the approxi mately normal solution on a quartz-wedge saccharimeter. The thoroughly mixed solution was poured into polariscope tubes of known length and polarized at a fixed temperature. The read ing of the saccharimeter was controlled by comparison with quartz plates No. 1 and no. 3, which are the primary standards of this Bureau referred to and described in the paper by Bates and Jackson. In determining the sugar value of these plates the conversion factor 349620 was used instead of the erroneous 349657.
