A meticulous work of scientific and institutional history, this volume chronicles the first fifty years of Australia's National Standards Laboratory, from its founding in 1938 through to 1988. J.F.H. Wright presents a detailed account of how Australia developed and maintained its national measurement infrastructure, tracing the evolution of scientific standards across disciplines including mass, length, electricity, and time. Written with the authority of an insider's perspective, the narrative illustrates the critical role that precise measurement plays in underpinning industry, commerce, and scientific research at a national level. The tone is scholarly and methodical, making it an invaluable reference for historians of science, metrologists, and anyone with a serious interest in the development of Australia's scientific institutions.
