The possibility of comparing line standards of length photographically

Author:

Abstract

Line standards of length, such as metres or yards, can be compared visually using micrometer microscopes to about one in ten millions in the most precise work. It seems possible that in a photographic comparison appreciably higher precision could be attained with less labour. Photographs of the lines on some line standards have been examined with a densitometer to determine the accuracy with which the distance between two photographic images of such lines could be measured. With suitable definition of line position a single measurement of this distance should have a standard deviation corresponding to less than 0.05 μ . Provided the temperature of the bars is known with sufficient accuracy it should be possible to compare two line standards to much better than one in ten millions in less than half the time taken by present visual methods. A machine for measuring the photographs is suggested. The characteristics of photographs of some lines are given in an appendix.
