📚 Metrology

The science of measuring: standards, traceability, and the kilogram that used to be a lump of metal in a vault.

Below are the 30 works carrying the subject metrology in the Open Library catalogue with the most editions in print. Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Novels set in the subject are left out, because a list of historical fiction is not a list of history. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.
