Product Information

Excerpt from The Functions of the Engineering Experiment, Station of the University of Illiis Until recently, comparatively few of the engineering industries appreciated the value of research. Now most of them are alive to its importance and many of them have undertaken its promotion by one means or ather. A few of the large industrial organizations have developed splendidly equipped research laboratories devoted to the solution of problems of fundamental importance to their own interests and t infrequently to the advancement of pure science. Other organizations have developed laboratories ostensibly devoted to research but really devoted to routine testing incident to the manufacture of their product and to the development of new machines, products, or processes. During recent years, a considerable number of trade associations have been organized to study and promote the interests of the firms having membership in these associations, and in many of them important research work has been undertaken in laboratories which they have developed, or in cooperation with private or public laboratories. It is difficult to determine when a single corporation or an association of concerns having a community of interests is justified in organizing an independent research laboratory. The great expense incurred in the operation of such laboratories, the difficulty of securing properly trained and competent men to do research work, and the failure to recognize the nature of the problems to be solved are likely to bring many of these laboratories, as well as research in general, into disrepute. In many instances, more satisfactory results may be obtained at a smaller cost through cooperation with private or public laboratories.
