The legal equivalent of the metre is 39-37079 inches, and of the kilo- 

 gramme 15432-34874 grains. In the above tables the values obtained in 

 1883 and 1896 by the order of the Board of Trade have been adopted as 

 being the more accurate. In 1893 the metre was measured by Rogers, 

 who found it equal to 39-370155 Inches. 



Weights can be more accurately compared than either lengths or 

 capacities. The actual weight of the standard kilogramme in Paris is 

 15432-35639 grains, and the English avoirdupois pound is equal to 

 453-5924277 grammes.
