Abstract
THE question of industrial standardisation will again come before the Imperial Conference when it meets in Ottawa at the end of this month, and Mr. C. le Maistre, director of the British Standards Institution, has been appointed adviser to the delegation from Great Britain on British standards. It will he recalled that at the last two Imperial Conferences very great importance was attached to the development of inter-Empire standardisation, and to the preparation of national industrial specifications by national standardising bodies. In order to fulfil the recommendation of the last Imperial Conference, the British Engineering Standards Association recently widened its scope, and is now known as the British Standards Institution. Since last November, Mr. le Maistre has been touring the Dominions in connexion with the development of this work.
