Intro of metric system in Norway
"Ved innføringen av metersystemet ble det opprettet et embete som justerdirektør, med ansvar for at all justering foregår i samsvar med lov og forskrifter, og for å påse at det er fullt samsvar mellom de norske enhetene og normalene og Meterbyråets (se Bureau International des Poids et Mesures). "
