828 PKOF. W. H. MILLER ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW STANDARD POUND. 
In the observations for finding- specific gravities made after June 1846, A, C, F 
were used without the bits of wire added to jnake up their loss of weight. Their values 
were, therefore, — 
grains. 
A =1239*84622 
C =1239*85497 
F = 799*88769 
Y, Z are weights of 19-998 grains each, W a weight of 12*901 grains, V a weight 
of 6*451 grains, Q the mean of the ten weights of 0*645 grain nearly. 
August 22, 1845, January 17, 1846.

10(R + S)=799*92581 grains, 
In the following comparisons of W+V + Q with Y and Z, the Q was changed at 
the end of each weighing, so that each Q was weighed eight times with W+V.
