Page 211: “Referring again to Table I, terms (21) and (22) represent names for units which the committee [Committee on Colorimetry, Optical Society of America–ed.] has voted to adopt. The decision was almost unanimous [16 to 2–ed.] in the case of recommending talbot as a psychophysical correlate of joule.
