Talk:National Physical Laboratory (United Kingdom)

message: The article tells us that
:Others who have spent time at NPL include Harry Huskey, a computer pioneer; Alan Turing, one of the fathers of modern digital computing who was largely responsible for the early ACE computer design; Robert Watson-Watt, generally considered the inventor of radar, Oswald Kubaschewski, the father of computational materials thermodynamics and the numerical analyst James Wilkinson.
I don't have any of Kubaschewski's books at hand but somebody who does may like to check my memory, which tells me that Kubaschewski worked not at the NPL but at the National Chemical Laboratory (bluelinked, but to an article on some Indian institution), which was on the same suburban London site and whose building long ago became part of the NPL. A history of British government funding of science should show whether my "OR" (my memory) about the NCL in general is right or wrong. Morenoodles (talk) 11:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Unsure if is also worth mentioning under the developments of NPL.
There are other recent developments That have happened at NPL as well. Such as work on the watt balance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibble_balance
Which ones are worth setting in the section?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndresMP.wiki (talk • contribs) 00:43, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello,
I have noticed some information on this page which requires updating. 
To be transparent, I am associated with this organisation but my suggestions only refer to facts and figures that require attention as well as updating some broken links within the citations section.
1. The article states there is a staff number of 750. The actual number is 1000+ as approved by National Physical Laboratory's HR department.

replies: text: Hi - Please note that wikipedia requires independent sources to be used (see WP:RS) so none of the sources listed above with the prefix https://www.npl.co.uk/ would qualify. Dormskirk (talk) 14:20, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your input . Non independent sources can be considered, per WP:NIS, provided they are used in an appropriate way, but what we really need are reliable independent sources for the above WP:RS. Are there any published independent soruces you can suggest? Many thanks. Whizz40 (talk) 19:52, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
