RESEARCH LABORATORIES IN INDUSTRIAL ESTABLISH-
MENTS OF THE UNITED STATES

The demand for information concerning industrial research laboratories
has indicated such a widespread interest in this subject that it seemed
desirable to issue an early revision of the list contained in Bulletin of the
National Research Council, number 2. The original publication was com-
piled early in 1920 by Mr. Alfred D. Flinn, Secretary of the Engineering
Foundation, with the assistance of Miss Ruth Cobb of the Research
Information Service. It contains the names of nearly 300 laboratories in
industrial establishments in the United States which had stated in direct
correspondence that they were engaged in research. The present publica-
tion has revised the original material as of August, 1921, and has added
about 250 new names.

As in the original list, all information here given has been obtained
directly by correspondence, and statements are based upon information
supplied by the laboratories. An endeavor has been made to follow the
phraseology of the laboratories wherever possible and to print each name
