Standardization rules

The revised rules recommended by the Standards Committee and approved by the Board of Directors were printed in the July issue of the Proceedings. It is well known that these rules are the outgrowth of the original code promulgated in 1899. They represent an immense amount of conscientious work by the committee, and numerous suggestions have been considered at its various sessions. Experience has shown that these rules have been of great service in the electrical field, although progress has been so rapid that it is becoming an exceedingly difficult matter to keep them up to date, and at the same time meet all requirements of the profession. Members should use every effort to call attention to the importance of substituting the new rules for those which are now obsolete. In addition to the usual pamphlet edition, copies are now available bound in substantial cloth covers, which will be more convenient for desk use. Further details are given in the advertising section of this issue.
