Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. Progress in applying superconductivity and the Josephson effect to measuring instruments and standards is summarized. Much was done with the metal superconductors lead and niobium. When thin films, insulating layers and Josephson junctions of similar quality to those achieved with metal superconductors can be made with the new ceramic superconductors, they will open up a wide range of new applications.<>
