Abstract :
The relationship between scientists, engineers, and the armed services in the development, production, and use of weapons is of great importance in meeting the exigencies of war, says the director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, an agency charged with co-ordinating the efforts of technical men to evolve instruments of war in collaboration with the Army and Navy. The interrelated work of this and other agencies, which are concerned with development rather than procurement, is contributing toward filling the vast need of the armed services for the adaptation of war implements to changing conditions.
