Abstract
<p>This is a reissue of a paper which appeared in ACTA IMEKO 1973, Proceedings of the 6th Congress of the International Measurement Confederation, "Measurement and instrumentation", 17.-23.6.1973, Dresden, vol. 1, pp. 45-53.</p><p>The paper witnesses the sophisticated discussion that, well before the publication of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), was active in the measurement science community around the subject of error and uncertainty, and its consequences on the structure of the measuring process and the way it is performed.</p>
