Abstract
The dating equipment at the National Physical Laboratory was completed by the summer of 1960. A series of calibration and intercomparison measurements was undertaken however, using the NBS oxalic acid reference standard, a modern wood standard (1850 oak tree) and other material before starting routine measurements toward the end of 1961. All results have been obtained using a 4.5 L copper proportional counter filled with CO2 at a constant density corresponding to standard conditions of 22°C and an absolute pressure of 150 cm Hg. The counter is shielded by 8 in. of steel, 6 in. of paraffin wax containing boric oxide, 23 Geiger counters arranged as two independent groups and finally by 1 in. of mercury.
