The Morals of Measurement is a contribution to the social histories of quantification and electrical technology in nineteenth-century Britain, Germany and France. It shows how the advent of commercial electrical lighting stimulated the industrialization of electrical measurement from a skilled labour-intensive activity to a mechanized practice. Challenging traditional accounts that focus on the metrological standards used in measurement, this book shows the central importance of trust when measurement was undertaken in an increasingly complex division of labour. Alongside ambiguities about the very nature of measurement and the respective responsibilities of humans and technologies in generating error-free numbers, the book also addresses controversies over the changing identity of the measurer through the themes of body, gender and authorship. The reader will gain fresh insights into a period when measurement was widely treated as the definitive means of gaining knowledge of the world.

This book presents the most up-to-date and comprehensive account of force measurement. It discusses the concepts of force and force measuring devices and standards. A thorough treatment of the mechanical design, construction, and calibration of force measurement systems, such as dynamometers and load cells, is presented.

Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Absolute Measurements in Electricity and Magnetism, Vol. 1 of 2 The present work is an extension of my small book which, published in 1884, has long been out of print. When the question of the issue of a second edition arose about three years ago, it was thought desirable to extend the plan of the former book so as to make the new a fairly complete treatise on the absolute measurement of electric and magnetic quantities. It has not been my aim to processes or a collection of practical rules, but one in which should be welded together, in some degree at least, the practice of absolute measurements and the mathematical theory of electric and magnetic phenomena. Thus it was no part of my plan to deal with the more recondite and abstract parts of electrical theory; but I trust the work now published may prove of some help to students who may wish to proceed to those subjects. I have, notably in Chapter I. of the present volume, included here and there for the sake of illustration particular theoretical cases which have no direct bearing on experimental processes.
