The Bureau of Metrology should be The Bureau of Meteorology
Thanks. Evidently the text was transposed from the section from Austria, where it _is_ the Office of Metrology. (Let's see: Austria/Australia, Meteorology/Metrology, gee, how many other opportunities for error are there? :-) And now I see the Austrians have changed the name of their organization to the Nationales Metrologie-Institut, so I'll have to change my translation too, to "National Metrology Institute" I guess. Anyway, thanks for the correction.
