- Abstract
- In 1948 the 9th CGPM, by its Resolution 6, instructed the CIPM: "to study the establishment of a complete set of rules for units of measurement", "to find out for this purpose, by official inquiry, the opinion prevailing in scientific, technical, and educational circles in all countries" and "to make recommendations on the establishment of a practical system of units of measurement suitable for adoption by all signatories to the Meter Convention."
