    Extractions: The struggle to achieve weights and measures standardization was central to the progress of industrialization in the United States and to the concurrent maturation of national and international markets. The story forms an essential part of our country's narrative of scientific advance and economic development. This exhibit is a small part of that story told from the perspective of one of the major players: the Federal Government. The role of the Federal Government was (and is) to insure the traceability of all secondary and working standards to International Standards. The cooperation of the States and the Federal Government toward this end is an example of federalism functioning robustly and efficiently for the benefit of the citizenry. Weights and Measures is a story that is told with objects. Many of the objects are in the collection of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Museum and several others were virtually borrowed for the exhibit. NIST wishes to thank all of the organizations that loaned objects. Thanks also to Christopher Evans, Howard Harary, Zeina Jabbour, Richard Rhorer, and Jack Stone, Jr., of the NIST Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory for their assistance with the development of this exhibit.

46. Jonah Goldberg
    Column by neoconservative columnist Jonah Goldberg on Tesco's decision to restore imperial weights and measures, and on metrication as an ideological tool of the EU and WTO.  
    http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/jonah080100.asp
    
    Extractions: Presidential campaign could use some anti-metric mania http://www.jewishworldreview.com UP TO NOW, all four of the recognized candidates for president Bush, Gore, Nader and Buchanan have had at least one need in common. They've all wanted for an issue that communicates real disdain for globalization without having any major consequences for peoples' pocketbook preferably something that resonates with the average person without scapegoating an industry or community that could fight back. Well, just in time for the major conventions, Britain has given us the perfect international equivalent to flag-burning. I'm referring, of course, to that heinous measure of tyranny, the metric system. Britain's leading supermarket chain, Tesco, declared this month that they would return to "imperial" weights and measures, i.e. good old-fashioned pounds, pints, inches, ounces and feet. The reaction from the British public and press has been hysterically positive. Tesco took this step in part because a survey of customers revealed that about nine out of 10 people still used the old-fashioned measurements in their heads. Tesco's decision follows in the wake of numerous small grocery store owners who have become national heroes by standing up to the European "food police" by defying what British press calls the latest "diktats" from Brussels, the capital of the European Union. Some British politicians, witnessing this unchoreographed national fervor, have been stoking the issue by encouraging other stores to follow suit.

    An assortment of articles asserting the superiority of British weights and measures to the French decimal system, including nineteenth century sources.  
    http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/estatopia/inch.htm
    
    Extractions: The world is slowly being forced by governments, civil servants and multi-national industries into adopting the metric measurement system in place of the traditional systems which have been in use for centuries, for millenia in fact. The use of metric units has been legally acceptable in the UK since 1897 and in the USA since 1866 and yet the traditional system prevails in spite of this option. If metric were an improvement on traditional measurements then it would have been universally adopted long ago. The truth is that metric offers no advantages to people in their daily lives and will never be used unless it is forced upon us by criminalising the use of imperial measurement, something which is happening now in the UK and has happened in every other country where metric is used. In fact, the people of other countries have never voluntarily adopted metric, it has always been imposed upon them against their will by politicians and bureaucrats.

    Extractions: misc. 12 inches = 1 foot (= 0.3048 m exactly 3 feet = 1 yard (= 0.9144 m exactly 5.5 yards = 1 rod or pole or perch (= 5.0292 m) - see below 40 rods = 1 furlong (= 201.168 m) know originally as "furrow long" - see "acre" 8 furlongs = 1 mile (= 1609.344 m exactly or 1760 yards) 3 miles = 1 league (= 4828.032 m) Remarks : in Old England, the mile - derived from the Roman "mille passus" or 1000 double steps - was originally 5000 feet long as in the Roman definition (1 "passus" = 5 feet). Later, it took 5280 feet to accomodate exactly 8 furlongs, the most popular measure of the time. Actually, the usual happened : the foot and the rod went slowly their separate ways, being used by different industries (the weaver and the farmer ...) Things had to be straightened up and, as the foot and the rod were already entrenched, we find these strange figures : 16.5 ft/rod and 5280 ft/mile. This was voted by the House under Queen Elizabeth I in 1595.

Bookstore SPOON MEASURES V O L U M E In American recipes, when quantities are stated as spoons, 'level' spoons are meant. European recipes and some found on this site may call for rounded (neither level, nor over heaped or heaping) spoons, unless specifically stated otherwise. Also, American 'spoons' are standard cook's measuring spoons, whereas European 'spoons' tend to be any available kitchen or eating spoons. When you come across any recipe by our European writers, assume the use of the European spoon measure. The best plan is to regard 2 American teaspoons or tablespoons as 1 English teaspoon or tablespoon. Dessertspoons are not often called for in recipes, but one dessert spoon is the equivalent of 2 teaspoons or half a tablespoon.
