S.M.M.T. POST-WAR STEELS - CONFIDENTIAL.

As you may be aware, about the middle of last year I was appointed a member of the S.M.M.T. Materials Committee, and whilst last year one or two meetings were held which were of no particular interest to us, it does now appear that a series of meetings will take place dealing mainly with steels which, in my opinion, is of direct interest.

The technical sub-committee of the S.M.M.T. have put in a considerable amount of work in an effort to reduce the number of specifications, I attach hereto copy of their first effort in this direction for your information and future guidance.

I do not think that this is a final list, but it should certainly be useful as a guide showing the trend of matters so far as the S.M.M.T. are concerned in their efforts to secure not only cheaper, but better materials.

EM.
