THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS
The National Bureau of Standards is a principal focal point in the
Federal Government for assuring maxinmm application of the physi-
cal and engineering sciences to the advancement of technology in
industry and commerce. Its responsibilities include development and
maintenance of the national standards of measurement, and the provi-
sions of means for making measurements consistent with those stand-
ards; determination of physical constants and properties of materials;
development of methods for testing materials, mechanisms, and struc-
tures, and making such tests as may be necessary, particularly for
government agencies; cooperation in the establishment of standard
practices for incorporation in codes and specifications; advisory service
to government agencies on scientific and technical problems; invention
and development of devices to serve special needs of the Government;
assistance to industry, business, and consumers in the development and
acceptance of commercial standards and simplified trade practice
recommendations; administration of programs in cooperation with
United States business groups and standards organizations for the
development of international standards of )practice; and maintenance
of a clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of scientific,
technical, and engineering information. The scope of the Bureau's
activities is suggested in the following listing of its three Institutes
and their organizational units.
Institute for Basic Standards. Applied Mathematics. ,Electricity.
Metrology. Mechanics. Heat. Atomic Physics. Physical Chem-
istry. Laboratory Astrophysics.* Radiation Physics. Radio Stand-
ards Laboratory:* Radio Standards Physics; Radio Standards
