Abstract :
The Bureau of Standards celebrated 25 years of service to the public, the industries, and the Government on December 4. The observance of this event was peculiarly fitting. On that day the staff kept “open house” and received all those who cared to take advantage of this opportunity of becoming acquainted with the bureau and its work. Probably 1500 people visited the laboratories. Among these were a large number who had never visited the bureau before, as well as many old friends and former members of the staff. A luncheon was served in the Industrial Building and throughout the day every effort was made to explain to the visitors the varied researches in progress in the laboratories.
