Summary[edit]

Description Aerial view of NBS campus at Connecticut Ave. and Van Ness, 1952 - Washington D.C. laboratories of the National Bureau of Standards. These laboratories, which consisted of 25 major and a number of minor buildings, were located in the northwest residential section of the city on a 68-acre wooded tract resembling the campus of a large university. Most of NBS' efforts were devoted to research in the physical sciences. Its primary function was to provide basic standards of physical measurement for government, science, and industry. NBS also maintained a major facility in Boulder, Colorado.
