Weights and measures have affected people's lives and livelihoods throughout history. Fair compensation for goods produced as well as fair and accurate statement of the weight and volume of items to be purchased have been critical to our ability to provide for ourselves and our families. By word-of-mouth, through government documentation, and through the media, society has recorded miscalculations, unscrupulous acts, and the stories of champions who have worked to improve humanity's lot by providing stable and accurate standards of measurement, legal sanction for these standards, and provisions for their enforcement.
