Cuprins
1. Moralizing measurement: (dis) trust in the people, instruments and techniques; 2. Meanings of measurements and accounts of accuracy; 3. Mercurial trust and resistive measures: rethinking the 'metals controversy' of 1860–94; 4. Reading technologies: trust, the embodied instrument user and the visualization of current measurement; 5. Coupled problems of self-induction: the unparalleled and the unmeasurable in AC technology; 6. Measurement at a distance: fairness, trustworthiness and gender in reading the domestic electrical meter.
Recenzii
Review of the hardback: '… there is no doubt that The Morals of Measurement is a timely contribution to the history, as well as the historiography, of measurement.' Science

The Historical Journal
