They had better time transfer standards and procedures in the 
40's.

Actually established by the international community in 1983, 
after a final measurement.  In 1960 to 1983, the meter was 
defined by wavelengths of light.  The Pt-Ir length standard bar 
was demonstrably increasing length by about 1 part in 10^8 per 
year.

Agreed.  After 1983, any such attempt would be a study in 
locating measurement errors.
