Abstract
It’s true what they say: The more things change, the more they stay the same. When it comes to the world of metrology, those working in the field almost 40 years ago would surely recognize the landscape of the industry in 2019. Then, the question was about how to share best practices for the relatively small community of people working with portable equipment like theodolites and photogrammetry systems; today, the challenge is to reach beyond the walls of portable hardware, software, and peripherals and identify the commonalities that all metrologists share in a world where the twin pillars of data and automation rule. In both cases, the answer was, and is, the Coordinate Metrology Society, which began 35 years ago.
