Table C. —Sales of Standard Specifications and Related Documents

The foregoing figures are based on sales of volumes of standard specifications. In many cases, however, several standard specifications appear in one volume. Taking this into account, the total sales of individual standard specifications amounted to approximately 40,000, an increase of 50 per cent, over the previous year. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TO MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES AND ORGANIZATIONS In conclusion, it is desired to acknowledge and record appreciation of the valuable service rendered gratuitously by the members of the various committees of the Standards Council and by the many other persons representing Government Departments, local authorities, and professional, commercial, trading, and industrial interests, including the executives of their various organizations, all of whom have contributed so generously in time and effort towards the work reviewed in this report. A. R. Galbraith, F.R.S.E., M.lnst.C.E., Chairman, Standards Council.
