Original Title: Bureau of Standards, Instrument shop
Location: Gaithersburg, Maryland
This is The Bureau of Standards workshop, From 1901 to 1988, after that they renamed it to The National Institute of Standards and Technology. They were in charge of Metrology. Metrology is the science of measurement and includes all theoretical and practical aspects of measurement.
In order to compete against other countries, we have to have a quality product. In order to get that we need a standard on all materials that creates guidelines for safety and knowing we have the same material as everyone else. For example, they will creates standards for metal alloys, so all our coins will be the same.
They have labs that tested all kinds of things. Granite posts, leather, meat, and so on, all were tested. This machine shop was responsible in making all their strange testing machines.

Zazzle has created a beautiful pet memorial perfect for our Christmas tree for years and years to come. We lost these two pets during this year which makes these ornaments even more social. I recommend this item to anyone who has lost a four-legged friend. Zazzle did an excellent job centering the uploaded photos, clearing the decorative items and string hole.

Ceramic Oval Ornament

I love the symbolism in this piece! The olive branches and flowers reminding us of Gethsemane and the joy of the resurrection. The candle reminding us of Christ's light and love. I've dropped it a few times already and it has held together nicely. Couldn't be more pleased with this product! Would definitely buy again. The printing was as expected on the front. Clear colors. The back where the artist put her brand name was a bit faded, but still readable.

I always worry when I order something customized, but this was just as I'd hoped it would be. My grandson will love it,. I spelled words wrong on purpose and they printed it just as it was entered. I was also concerned the words would run into the hole for hanging the ornament but it was centered and perfect, I am so pleased, I am now in the process of ordering customized volleyball ornaments from Zazzle for my granddaughter and her entire team. Thank you.
