BSSM Measurement Lecture 1986 Measurement in engineering—a gas industry view

Without reliable measurement, engineering as we know it would not be possible. Our lives would be totally different as a result. The gas industry in the UK is no exception. As a major supplier of energy, it depends on measurement in many forms over a wide range of applications. Some examples are described covering early forms of gas metering to new developments in the rapidly expanding field of optics.
