in solving psychrometric calculations. The Technical Advisory Com mittee on Psychrometry, functioning under the Committee on Research
of: the Society, which has furnished this chart, is now studying funda mental data and will later supply the figures upon which future Guide psychrometric tables and charts will be based. Thus the current chart may be considered an interim ones the partial purpose of which is to develop experience that will help in determining the final form.
Other Technical Advisory Committees'of the Committee on Research
have also contributed much information and advice that have been exceedingly valuable, and many members of the Society, acting indi vidually or as committeemen, upon request or upon their own initiative, have given freely of their time and knowledge, in order that this book might best serve its purpose. Although the present text is largely carried over from past years, and credit for its composition is due to a large number of Society members, the following accepted and accom plished definite editorial work for this edition:

In addition to the extensive revisions to the Technical Section the Catalog Data Section has been rearranged to present manufacturers data in logical sequence under five general classifications: air conditioning, air, system equipment, controls and instruments, heating systems and ..insulation. Each section has an introductory outline which will also be bf assistance to the reader in locating pertinent data in the Technical Section. By thus creating a better coordination between the Technical and Catalog Sections it is expected that the reader can more quickly locate the correct type of equipment for a particular design and also assist the manufacturer in presenting more detailed and more suitable
data for the specific application.
The Guide Publication is appreciative of the cooperation given by the manufacturers in furnishing useful catalog data and also acknowledges with heartfelt gratitude the help of all those who assisted in whatever way, and extends thanks to them in behalf of the readers.
