On the Non-Use of A. E. R. A. StandardsOn behalf of the American Association committee onthe use of association standards, W. G. Gove, BrooklynRapid Transit Company, made a plea for more atten-tion to the work of the standards committee. A com-mittee had been appointed at Mr. Goves suggestion toanswer the question as to why the standards are notmore generally used. The trouble, he said, may be withthe manner in which the standards are prepared or withthe member companies which pay the expenses of thecommittees but are not willing to utilize the results oftheir work. Among the reasons for the wider use of standards Mr.Gove called attention to the large stocks of supplies re-quired with few standards, and to the space needed instoring these stocks. Each year new parts are beingadded to the stock lists. The manufacturers are glad to. IN ATTENDANCE AT NIAGARA FALLS CONVENTION 18 ELECTRIC RAILWAY JOURNAL [Vol. XLVIII, No. 1 co-operate in this work, but the initiative seems lack-ing. Certain standards already adopted have proved ofvalue to purchaser and manufacturer, and none is effec-tive without the approval of the latter. The tendencytoward standardization results in scientific investment. To illustrate how the standards are not being used, Mr. Gove cited the case of the standard rail, of whichbut 10, 000 tons have been rolled. On the other hand, wheel standards have been of great use to electric rail-ways. While he did not believe in the unqualified use ofstandards, many of them could be used, for example, wheels and axles. The average railway is not makingan effort to furnish its technical staff with informationregarding the standards. Mr. Gove also said a good word for the EngineeringManual, and suggested that the distribution of revisionsof the Manual should be simplified and cheapened
