Decimal Classification Method.

During the past few years the field
of radio communication has grown
very rapidly. and very considerable
number of different kinds Of appara-
In organizations actively engaged in
radio work, such as manufacturing.
operating or selling companies, and
radio research laboratories, and in
large libraries, there is real demand
for convenient and comprehensive
methods of classifying the consider
able volume and variety of printed
matter, books, specifications, draw
ings, references, and other radio ma
terial which Is constantly accumulat-
ing A good method of classification
by subject makes it possible to place
the material covering related subjects
near together in the file or on the
shelf, instead of arranging the ma
terial simply in the order in which
the various items are received.
The only valuable knowledge is the
available. To be available 1t must be
SO classified that 1t can at once be
found. 1t Is often much easier to-
hunt up a desired fact anew than to
search for 1t among mass of ma
terial which is unclassified or poorly
classified.
Several years ago the staff of the
radio laboratory of the bureau of
standards felt the need for suitable
classification In connection with It's
oWH woih- AttcI sums tifdiS' ~ dP
peared that decimal system of clas-
sification would be very useful for
this purpose.
Persons. connected with library
work are familiar with the Dewey
decimal classification, which assigns
a classification number according to
subject to every book which may be
found in library. The Dewey clas-
si1cation has been successfully used
since 1875. The entire field of human
knowledge Is divided by the Dewey
classification into nine main classes,
and each main class is subdivided as
infinitely as may be required Tor the

purpose of the particular library
where it is used. 1t is flexible and
can be easily adapted to any special
| requirements. 1t Is convenient to
, have a special classification, such as a
radio classification, SO arranged that
it will fit conveniently into a library
where the Dewey classification is al
ready in use. In the Dewey classif-
cation the number 621.3S4 represents
radio communication. and the classifi-
cation prepared at the bureau of
standards is really a subdivision of
this number. For the radio classitica-
tion the abbreviation "R" is suggested
to represent the number 621384.
There has recently been issued Bu-
reau of Standards Circular No. 138,
suggested Decimal classification of
Radio Subjects-An Extension of the
Dewey System" In the classification
given in this publication the general
field of radio communication is d.
vided into nine main classes. each of
which is subdivided as minutely as
required. This classification is in
tended to be pre-eminently practical
and TO not sacrifice usefulness to any
| theoretical refinement.
In an organization in which only
comparatively small amount OF ma
terial is to be classified it may be
sufficient to use only the nine main
number "R3o0" represents radio
apparatus and equipment" In large
organizations it may be desired to go
| into such detail as "R342.2," which
represents "electron tube amplifers
using resistance coupling" or "R-
1874 45." principles of super-regen-
erative action of electron tubes" An
abbreviated classification is given
which is suitable for organizations
having a moderate amount Of mate
rial to classify.

that pardon cases are usually one
sided presentations, he urged states
attorneys to give positive recommen-
