PREFACE

This publication supersedes National Bureau of Standards Miscellaneous Publication Ml03 with respect to the

index of the several Reports of the National Conference on

Weights and Measures. The earlier index covered the Conference Reports from the First to the Twenty-first, inclusive;

the present publication covers all Conference Reports from

the First to the Thirty-first, inclusive. Thus, the large

amount of information on a wide variety of weights and

measures subjects, which is embraced within the published

reports of the proceedings of the National Conference from

the first meeting in 1905 through the meeting in 1941, is made more valuable by reason of the means herein provided

for locating readily all material on any specific subject and

all material presented by any particular speaker.

INDEX TO THE REPORTS OF THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, FROM THE

FIRST (1905) TO THE THIRTY-FIRST (1941), INCLUSIVE

Notes.—For ease of reference, the index is presented in two forms, first a

subject index, and second an index by names of speakers. The subject index has been carefully cross-indexed, to enable those using it to locate the desired information under principal or associated words. In the name index, the names

of speakers are arranged alphabetically, and under each name appear, in chronological order, references to the papers or addresses presented to the Conference

by that speaker; in those instances in which a speaker's official or business con- nection has changed during the period covered by the index listings, his name

is entered once for each such connection, with appropriate listing of papers or addresses under each entry. Citations to particular Conference Reports and to the pages in such Reports

where the material in question begins, are given in the following manner: The

"number" of the Conference (that is, first, second, and so forth) is given first by means of figures printed in bold-face type; immediately following, and printed

in ordinary light-face type, there is given the number of the page on which the

material begins. Thus the citation "20, 87" means that the material in question

will be found beginning on page 87 of the Report of the Twentieth National

Conference. When material carries over from one session of a Conference to a subsequent session, or when a presentation is interrupted and later resumed in the same session, a citation is given for the beginning of each portion of the

material. For information relative to the procurement or consultation of Conference

Reports, and to the designation of the several Conference Reports according to the numeration followed in the series of Miscellaneous Publications of the National Bureau of Standards, see page 38 of this publication.
