A short look at the long history of measurement
Jul 07, 2021, 11:19
Hi all,

I recently wrote a blog on the topic of Ancient Metrology. For those well versed in the work of John Michell, John Neal and Robin Heath there is nothing especially new, but hopefully it is a decent short primer on the subject for those that aren't.

Best wishes,

Ross

Nice one Ross. Well written too. John Michell is one of my heroes, a true pioneer, as is Robin Heath and John Neal. Add Alexander Thom and you've pretty much got a full set. What a pity there aren't any up and coming replacements to carry on the good work.
