I would try to push the powers be of our own NIST to learn something from US NIST.. I have always been mesmerised and admirer of US manufacturing, science and technology.. Sending love from Pakistan

It's strange see this video on NIST's page? I like manufacturing videos, and I like Metrology and standards, but government promotion of a specific private brand just rubs me the wrong way?

[@donnaprisbrey1452]

Agreed. I had hoped NIST had replied to your comment and explained the logic behind this decision.
