HE Institution of Automobile Engineers has acquired , an added dignity on the completion of its first quarter of a century of existence. At the request of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders and of the Automobile Research Association it has undertaken to supervise the work of standardization and r esearch _hitherto independently carried out by each of those important bodies. For this purpose a special research and standardization committee has been appointed with its own organization and staff, its own financial, technical and publication sub-committees, and, in addition to Abe leaders in the altomobile industry in its wider sense, members of the Board of Trade, Departinent of Seientific and Industrial Research , . and of other Government departments, insofar as their individual interests may necessitate co-operation, are represented.
This new development is a very Important one and it is, therefore, opportune to detail some , of the benefits of membership of the institution. Members and associate members are the two classes of corporate member having voting powers, and these are persons who have satisfied the council that they are properly qualified . motor engineers. Graduates and ,students are specially catered for by dividing their course of study and by holding meetings, visits and discussions. Affiliates and affiliated concerns are provided not only with ordinary institution literature, but also with the immediate results of research carried out in the laboratory of the committee.
The advantages of membership are not readily summarized, but the technical advancement of its members is in the forefront of the Institution activities. The papers and discussions have always been most valuable and the annual volumes contain a mine of useful information.:
An appointments register is most useful in putting employers and un-. . ployees in touch and the council id generally alive to the main objects as set out in its memorandum of, association :—" To promote the science and practice of engineering as applied to the construction of automobiles—and to initiate any scheme—likely to be useful to the members and to the community at large in relation thereto."
