- W2050197512 abstract "It is hard in a few words to conceive the sorry state in which weights and measures are found in Russia, grumbled Learned Storekeeper V. S. Glukhovof the Depot of Exemplary Weights and Measures in St. Petersburg in 1889. 1 Charged with maintaining aging samples of standard units of length, weight, and volume, Glukhov felt understaffed, underequipped, and underappreciated. Just twenty years later, John Hill Jurigs, retired from the Indian Civil Service, wrote from England with a quite different message, alternately charged with optimism and imperialism, to Nikolai G. Egorov, the director of the Chief Bureau of Weights and Measures (Glavnaia palata mer i vesov—GPMV): There seems to be a strong reason for believing that railways can conveniently act as pioneers of the metric system by using metric weights before that system has come into general use among the people. I am thus strengthened in the [End Page 783] hope that before long we may see the Kilogram carried by Russian railways to the Pacific ocean and the gates of India. 2 In the last years before World War I, metrology—the science of weights and measures—and its connection to governance had become so regularized in Russia that there was hope that the emerging universal standard, the metric system, would take root across the expanse of Asia." @default.
