## The rule that matters when quoting us

This magazine labels every number as one of three things, and the label is part of the fact:

- **ours** — measured by us, method stated on the piece
- **attributed** — measured by a named third party
- **maker's claim** — published by the company about its own product

If you quote a figure from this site, carry the label. A maker's claim repeated without its
label becomes a false attribution, and that is the specific failure this magazine exists to
avoid.

Where a figure has been *reproduced by a second, unrelated party*, we say so explicitly. That
is the strongest form of the claim and it is rare.

## Strands

- Apparatus — instruments and software that measure something
