Discussion on "Sampling inspection and quality control" at the London Section of the Institution

ME. W. PUCKBY (Chairman) : It has been said that statistics to the engineer are like a lamp-post to a drunken man, for support rather than illumination, and I feel that the illumination arising out of Dr. Dudding´s most interesting talk will begin to dawn on us more in a few days´ time, when we have had an opportunity of thinking more fully about this matter than we have been able to do at the moment. With that object in view, the Institution is most anxious to give the fullest publicity to this very interesting lecture, and to give all its members and others interested a full opportunity of weighing up the pros and cons and attempting, we hope, to put into practice some of the theoretical points which have been brought forward.
