A fact from U.S. National Geodetic Survey appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 July 2004. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was responsible for American weights and measures from 1836 until the establishment of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 1901?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2004/July.

Article lead

The lead of this article neglects to mention what the Geodetic Survey is. It probably shouldn't start off with history. —EncMstr (talk) 20:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
