Report of SMPE Standards Committee

THE BYLAWS OF OUR SOCIETY wisely provide that the chairmen of committees “shall not be eligible to serve in such capacity for more than two consecutive terms.” The first of this present year constituted that limit for the writer's service as chairman of the Committee on Standards, and so made appropriate this final reporting of the events of that period. At the same time it is hoped that this review, including as it does a description of the terminal status of the various standardization projects which were being conducted under the writer's general direction, may be of service to the new chairman and members of the Committee on Standards. Then too, the accelerating influence of the wartime period on standardization activities has stimulated a good deal of thinking with regard to the development of sound peacetime practices in this field, so that I have ventured to include a certain amount of philosophizing in that connection.
