Discussion on "Standardisation as applied to production engineering" at the Eastern Counties Section of the Institution

Mr. F. AYTON (Section President): I am sure you all feel, as I do, that we have listened to a very interesting paper this evening by Mr. Dumas. Mr. Dumas must have impressed you as to the enormous amount of work that has been carried out for standardisation by the British Standards Institution. This work is very thoroughly done and each specification is read over and over again before it is passed for approval. Mr. Dumas has touched on every phase. There is one thing I would like to mention in connection with colouring patterns. We are now back to black. When one has been using another colour one notices the difference that is found with a colour. You can pick out a particular pattern at once against the black sand.
