This book is a collection of reports from a committee assembled to establish standards for electrical measurement. The committee was founded in 1861 and consisted of several notable scientists of the time, including James Clerk Maxwell and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin). This volume contains the published records of the committee's meetings from 1862 through 1883. Prior to this committee's work, there was no universally recognized standard of resistance. The book presents archival documents that describe how the committee grappled with various proposed measurement systems, and the reasoning behind the choices they made. Through their work, they presented the scientific community with their recommended system of measurement, and the first international standard for electrical resistance—the Ohm. The original reports compiled in this book present a fascinating look into the development of electrical measurement standards, making it a must-have for anyone interested in the history and advancement of electrical engineering.
