Abstract
THE international procedure which in normal times can be adopted for agreement or otherwise to suggested changes in the nomenclature of fundamental units cannot function at the present time, but it is hoped that Dr. Guggenheim's suggestion, which can be brought to the notice of those it concerns through the columns of NATURE, will find the favour it seems to deserve, and will prevent the ‘stat–coulomb’ becoming an established term, which has neither the merit of euphony nor symmetry in the systematic naming of the electrical units.
