THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS The National Bureau of Standards1 provides measurement and technical information services essential to the efficiency and effectiveness of the work of the Nation's scientists and engineers. The Bureau serves also as a focal point in the Federal Government for assuring maximum application of the physical and engineering sciences to the advancement of technology in industry and commerce. To accomplish this mission, the Bureau is organized into three institutes covering broad program areas of research and services: THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS... provides the central basis within the United States for a complete and consistent system of physical measurements, coordinates that system with the measurement systems of other nations, and furnishes essential services leading to accurate and uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry, and commerce. This Institute comprises a series of divisions, each serving a classical subject matter area: -Applied Mathematics-Electricity-Metrology Mechanics Heat-Atomic Physics-Physical Chemistry-Radiation Physics-Laboratory Astrophysics-Radio Standards Laboratory, which includes Radio Standards Physics and Radio Standards Engineering-Office of Standard Refer ence Data. THE INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH... conducts materials research and provides associated materials services including mainly reference materials and data on the properties of ma terials. Beyond its direct interest to the Nation's scientists and engineers, this Institute yields services which are essential to the advancement of technology in industry and commerce. This Institute is or ganized primarily by technical fields: -Analytical Chemistry-Metallurgy-Reactor Radiations-Polymers-Inorganic Materials-Cry. ogenics Office of Standard Reference Materials. THE INSTITUTE FOR APPLIED TECHNOLOGY... provides technical services to promote the use of available technology and to facilitate technological innovation in industry and government. The principal elements of this Institute are: -Building Research-Electronic Instrumentation-Technical Analysis-Center for Computer Sci ences and Technology-Textile and Apparel Technology Center-Office of Weights and Measures -Office of Engineering Standards Services-Office of Invention and Innovation-Office of Vehicle Systems Research-Clearinghouse for Federal Scientific and Technical Information Materials Evaluation Laboratory-NBS/GSA Testing Laboratory. 1 Headquarters and Laboratories at Gaithersburg, Maryland, unless otherwise noted; mailing address Washington, D.
