up last year to deal with the standardization of freight containers, hopes to establish a range which will be interchangeable with different forms of transport all over the world. The committee made good progress towards this end at the second meeting, held recently in Geneva, Overall dimensions.were adopted for two sizes of container, having a rating of 10 to 20 tons (gross weight maximum) respectively. These containers are of rectangular cross-section, having a width and height of 8 ft. and respective nominal lengths of 10 and 20 ft. Appropriate equivalent metric dimensions and associated manufacturing tolerances in both systems of measurement were also agreed.
