Note. — The Meter is the length, at the temperature of o° C, of the platinum-iridium bar deposited at the 

 International Bureau of Weights and Measures at Sfevres, near Paris, France. 



The present legal equivalent of the meter is 39.370113 inches, as above stated. 



The Kilogram is the mass of a platinum-iridium weight deposited at the same place. 



The Liter contains one kilogram weight of distilled water at its maximum density (4° C), the barometer being 

 at 760 millimeters.
