The Movement for Standards for Consumer Goods
The work of the National Recovery Administration, and particularly its Consumers' Advisory Board, has been the principal factor in bringing this subject so rapidly to the fore in recent months. In fact the NRA has done more than any other movement to bring home to industry and to the general public the importance of quality control in the buying and selling of commodities. There has come to be a widespread understanding of the fact that most of t…
Work of the American Engineering Standards Committee
THERE are literally hundreds of organized groups engaged in industrial standardization work in this country. By and large, this group standardization movement has developed during the present century. It has been a natural outgrowth of company standardization, which has been one of the most marked characteristics of our industrial growth. Just as company standardization led to standardization by groups, so the latter inevitably necessitates inter…

Intensive work on a group of some forty national safety codes has been actively under way for the last six years. Of these, fourteen have been completed and issued and are now…

concentration upon specific products and materials, both in production and in use, to the end of bringing about the greatest possible industrial efficiency.

It must be said at the outs…
The Work of the Bureau of Standards
ALL of the more important countries have found it necessary to set up some governmental agency for standardization and research work in physics, chemistry and technology. These institutions have exerted and are exerting a profound economic influence, in the past by reducing the confusion in weights and measures from which commerce and industry have largely emerged, and at present in clarifying allied subjects in which more or less confusion still…
