Excerpt from the register of the deliberations of the SocieÌ teÌ royale acadeÌ mique de Savoie, most of which is a report from a commission named to investigate the standardization of weights and measures. The report recommends the adoption of specific decimal liquid measures such as liters and the pegging of retained national measures, such as the pied for land area and the grenette de ChambeÌ ry for grain volume, to specific percentages of international decimal measures. Information at the end identifies the report as an excerpt, records that the report was unanimously adopted, and is signed by G. M. Raymond, secreÌ taire perpeÌ tuel de la SocieÌ teÌ (f. 12r).
