Bureau of standards year book for 1927

The Standards Year Book represents an effort to present an adequate description of the diversification and ramification of the standardization movement that have elapsed throughout the world since the establishment of the National Bureau of Standards. It contains outlines of the activities and accomplishments of not only this bureau and other agencies of the Federal Government and the states and municipalities, but also of the American societies and associations of which standardization is an important activity. Descriptions and illustrations are presented of all the fundamental national standards of the United States, and outlines of the various foreign national and the several international standardizing agencies.
