Around 1960, Ford Motor Company's Research and Information Department produced a set of educational posters presenting "a short history of how our system of linear measurement and measurement of length came into being." Concise captions accompanying dynamic, simple illustrations revealed the origins of many standards of measurement and explained their critical role in science and industry.
