[...] " From the Kasi Nulla to the summit of the Patkai central ridge the " distance is about 4 miles and the ascent is said to be very precipitous " but it is quite evident from the description given and the manner in " which the Burmese travelled that there are no serious obstacles which " the judicious employment of a few pioneers would not readily overcome. [...] This requirement for a standard necessarily entails on the one band a knowledge of the relations which exist between the standard and the causes of its variation and on the other hand the possibility of an accurate and independent measurement of these causes. [...] Another difficulty is introduced by the variation of the length of the wick and of the candle itself by which the standard light necessarily alters its position in the photometer and consequently its quantitative The Metropolitan Gas Act 1860 (23 and 24 Viet. [...] 2 equilibrium between the heat produced and the beat lost per unit of time it is necessary to make the arrangement in such a manner that the electric resistance offered by the standard is only in the piece of platinum intended to be made hot by the current and not in the other parts of the circuit.
