American engineering standards committee

The American Electric Railway Association has submitted its specifications for overhead line material for action by the American engineering standards committee, to determine the question of sponsorship and to arrange for the submission of the specifications already developed by the A. E. R. A. to a duly organized sectional or working committee, which will make such revisions and additions as may be necessary to bring these specifications up to the full status of an “American Standard.” The special committee to consider the question of sponsorship and scope of the specifications, which are also of direct interest to other than electric railway interests, is headed by Mr. A. H. Moore, representing the Electrical Manufacturers Council on the A. E. S. C., and includes representation from the National Electric Light Association, American Railway Association, Electrical Manufacturers Council, American Institute of Electrical Engineers, American Electric Railway Association, American Short Line Railway Association, and the Bell Telephone System.
