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

MR. AIERS: Mr. Drane opened the meeting and gave a definition that standardisation should go by public opinion. I think this is very dangerous. Motor car firms are supposed to change the model each year. That, I think, is the dead opposition to standardisation. Even though you do not advocate a thing yourself, if the public want it, you have it.
