Scope of engineering data sub-committee: Report of the sub-committee on engineering data

THE Engineering Data Sub-committee was created by the present administration and has therefore no established precedents to indicate the proper scope of its activities. The appointment of the committee grew out of the work of the original High-Tension Transmission Committee of ten years ago, under the leadership of its chairman, Mr. Mershon, in collecting engineering data about high-tension transmission plants and the similar work of the High-Tension Transmission Committee last year undertaken at the suggestion of Mr. Mershon, then President. The general approval of this collection of high-tension transmission data suggested the thought that valuable data might be collected in other fields.
