NBS TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS

                   PERIODICALS

    JOURNAL OF RESEARCH reports National
Bureau of Standards research and development in
physics, mathematics,    chemistry, and engineering.
Comprehensive scientific papers give complete details
of the work, including laboratory data, experimental
procedures, and theoretical and mathematical analy-
ses.  Illustrated with   photographs, drawings, and
charts.
Published in three sections, available separately:

* Physics and Chemistry
Papers of interest primarily to scientists working in
these fields.  This section covers a broad range of
physical and chemical research, with major emphasis
on standards of physical measurement, fundamental
constants, and properties of matter. Issued six times
a year. Annual subscription: Domestic, $9.50; for-
eign, $1 1.75*.

* Mathematical Sciences
Studies and compilations designed mainly for the
mathematician and theoretical physicist.  Topics in
mathematical statistics, theory of experiment; design,
numerical analysis, theoretical physics and chemis-
try, logical design and programming of computers
and   computer   systems.  Short   numerical  tables.
Issued  quarterly. Annual   subscription: Domestic,
$5.00; foreign, $6.25*.

* Engineering and Instrumentation
Reporting results of interest chiefly to the engineer
and the applied scientist. This section includes many
of the new developments in instrumentation resulting
from the Bureau's work in physical measurement,
data processing, and development of test methods.
It will also cover some of the work in acoustics,
applied mechanics, building research, and cryogenic
engineering.   Issued quarterly. Annual subscription:
Domestic, $5.00; foreign, $6.25*.

        TECHNICAL NEWS BULLETIN
The best single source of information concerning the
Bureau's research, developmental, cooperative and
publication    activities, this monthly publication is
designed for the industry-oriented individual whose
daily work involves intimate contact with science and
technology-for   engineers, chem'sts,  physicists, re-
search managers, product-development managers, and
company executives. Annual subscription: Domestic,
$3.00; foreign, $4.00*.
* Difference in price is due to extra cost of foreign mailing.
