It means that what we see isn't really real, it's just a useful approximation!

.

… and that is what begat the CIE 1931 diagram

There is, inevitably, a Wikipedia page about it … but try this one as an alternative:

just been in the loft and found a tastefully coloured in 28 x 19 GA drawing by Berol for a Midland 4-4-0 of 1901, rather well done. It also has some dims and various calcs but they do not make it seem too busy. It says on it that it is an advert for their torquoise line of pens. Doesn't seem to have a date but would think around 70s 80s. Will now have to find a frame.
