Technical committee annual reports, 1920–1921

Several years ago it appeared that the work of the Protective Devices Committee would be conducted to better advantage if it should assume that the Committee would be largely reappointed from year to year and that it might undertake investigations which could not be completed within any one fiscal year. Since that time it has practically lost all interest in the fiscal year except for the purpose of making its annual report in accordance with the Constitution. The investigations of its sub-committees has continued from year to year and on several occasions the subcommittees have presented their report in the form of a paper before the Institute.
