Abstract
The Department of Defense has established a Defense Supply Agency to provide the logistics support of a large portion of supplies common to the various military forces, and other services. The agency is vitally interested in standardization, which is needed to prevent waste and inefficiency. Preparation of military specifications follows five stages, the third being submission to industry (machine tool builders) for comments and recommendations.
