Excerpt from Simplification of Sizes and Terminology of High Volatile Bituminous Coal: Handled Over Docks at American Head of the Great LakesThe primary function of the division of simplified practice is to assist industrial groups to eliminate unnecessary variety of a given product and thereby reduce manufacturing and distributing costs. In order to secure maximum results, such problems should be handled on a national scale.Prior to 1929 the division confined its work to projects which from their inception were national in scope. It has, however, become increasingly evident that there is a large field of useful cooperative service in assisting to develop programs applying primarily to only a part of the United States. Obviously some limit must be set up beyond which the division can not be expected to go, and for the present it has been decided to limit this new activity to (a) natural products or commodities, the nature of which varies in different parts of the country, and (b) to programs which hold forth a definite promise of ultimately developing into national recommendations.There are certain problems, notably in connection with natural products, which can not be effectively handled on a national scale until they have been successfully solved within a limited area or region. A natural rock, not subject to the precise control that governs fabricated materials, exemplifies this class of product. Some aspects of such a problem may always be regional, as, for example, the color in local stone. In certain other aspects, identical characteristics may be found in other regions, and in such cases the regional solutions may prove to be nationally applicable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
