Le Gnomon de I’Observatoire et les anciennes Toises; restitution de la Toise de

The discovery of a manuscript of J. Cassini, written in 1682, has enabled the
hitherto unknown error of the toise of Picard to be determined. It proves to be
about one-thousandth part shorter than the toise of Cassini; and thus the meridional
arc-measurements of Picard may at last be accurately compared with modern results.
