REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 97, §7 of the Code, as amended by Ch.
437, Acts of 1973. The present reference to
"subsequent editions, amendments, and
revisions, etc." is proposed for deletion and
the phrase "as amended" is added because the
present language is unnecessary. In
subsection (d), the present reference to
"apparatus" is proposed for deletion and
"weight and measure" is substituted because
this provision is intended to refer to a
weight and measure. The only other changes
made are in style.
