...These corrections being applied, we have 39.13929 inches of Sir G. Shuckbargh's standard scale, for the length of the pendulum vibrating seconds in the latitude of London. " Wishing to compare with this the result which would have been obtained by means of the weights and...

...measures for the ordinary purposes of life, as well as for the estimation of the distances and volumes of the heavenly bodies. The length of the pendulum vibrating seconds in the latitude of London in vacuo is 39,13734 inches; this is the standard of the British measure of extension. The French unit...
