Abstract
WITH the July issue, which began the thirty-seventh semi-annual volume, the Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, a monthly periodical published by the U.S. Department of Commerce and devoted to pure and applied science, appeared in a new typographical style and size. A larger size of page now brings the Journal into line with many other American scientific and technical magazines, such as the publications of the American Physical Society, and with that recently adopted for the Bureau's Technical News Bulletin. Other improvements in the general format are a light blue cover, a separate 'contents' page, double reading columns, two-point spaces between the lines of text and tabular matter, and modern type for display heads. These changes make the printed page much easier to read. As in former issues, the individual articles are still printed as separate units, and reprints are made available for purchase as 'Research Papers' from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C., shortly after their appearance in the monthly issue of the Journal. In this respect it may be of interest to readers to know that H.M. Stationery Office has recently announced that arrangements have been made for that Office to act as agents for U.S. Government publications, and that orders should be sent to the London Sales Office, York House, Kingsway, W.C.2.
