§ 82. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement regarding his discussions with the engineering industry about the standardisation of screw threads in the United Kingdom with those of the United States of America.
§ Sir D. EcclesI have had no special discussions recently with the engineering industry about this. Unified screw threads are usually specified in defence orders and are also being used commercially in a number of industries. I hope that their use will increase as demand and conditions in industry warrant.
