ONE PART IN A MILLION
OFF WEIGHT is ENOUGH
FOR BUREAU TO CATCH

What is declared by the Depart
ment Of Commerce to be the most
precise work ever done in weigh
ing standards has just been COM
pleted by the bureau Of standards
OF that department.
A standard OF measurement has
been perfected to such a degree
OF accuracy that withdrawal Of a
single steel rIvet. weighing a
pound from mass such as a bat
tleship weighing $4,000 tons, can
be Immediately detected.
The instrument with which this
feat has been accomplished was
made possible through a balance
which gives results almost unbe-
lievably accurate. The accuracy
OF weighing results is such that
i In comparing the two-pound
weights, differences as small as
one part in million can be de-
tected.
