Customer Reviews

An almost complete reference.

This is a very complete and useful reference work for anyone who deals with measurements. I have been able to find almost every term I have looked for in this book. Every measurement professional should be able to find a place on their working bookshelf for it. However, there is one glaring omission: the word "metrology" (the science of measurement) is NOT one of the entries in the book!
