Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and significance of two iron rods, referred to as toises, which were used as the standard measure of length in France for over a century. The author traces the toises' origins back to the 18th century, when they were commissioned by the French Academy of Sciences to establish a uniform system of measurement. The book meticulously chronicles how these toises were used in groundbreaking scientific expeditions, including the measurement of the Earth's meridian by scientists like Pierre Bouguer and Charles Marie de La Condamine. Along with the historical narrative, the author analyzes the toises' construction, examining the techniques used in their creation and the materials employed. Through a close examination of the toises' physical properties and their role in scientific advancements, the book sheds light on the evolution of scientific instrumentation and the development of precise measurement standards.
