In solving automatic temperature and air tditioning control problems, always in the minds of Johnson engineers is : e indisputable fact that even the most efficient devices are valuable only v. : n they function perfectly as part of the whole . . . Almost every installs : n differs as to the relative humidity to be maintained and the dry-bulb : perature with which that humidity is associated. Various materials, w] : (1 respond dependably to changes in the moisture- content of the surrounc: g air, are affected differently under each set of conditions. That is why John on offers "humidostats" with any one of several types of elements, such as a n -1 membrane, human hair, wood in various forms, and other substances . . .

INDUSTRIAL HEALTH HAZARDS In designing ventilating systems for various types of industrial plants the problem some times arises in an engineer's office of determin ing, frequently at a distance, just what types of dust, fumes or odors might be encountered in a specific industry.; It is to assist in this problem that this data sheet has been de signed, The information covers a somewhat wider scope than ventilation alone in that it deals with all industrial health hazards, in cluding infections, pressure abnormalities, high light intensities, radioactive compounds, and a few other hazards not directly associated with ventilation. O n the whole, though, most of the hazards are those which are concerned, at least to some extent, with industrial ventila tion. -- Due to space limitations the information has been presented in the form of two tables. T o use the table refer to Table 2 and opposite th type of industry find the number or num bers of hazards involved in that particular industry. T h e numbers are keyed to the haz ard in Table 1. Exam ple: W hat type of hazard would be encountered in an electrotyping plant? S o l u t i o n : Referring to T ab le 2, opposite Electrotyping . -will ,be found the numbers 6-49-64. In Table 1 opposite 6 is found acids; opposite 49, lead and compounds; and oppo site 64, plating solutions. All of these hazards are liable to be found in an electrotyping plant and the engineer can determine in ad vance or at a distance the probable need for ventilation. This data sheet is a rearrangement of data presented through the courtesy of the Con necticut State Department of Health which issued this information in a large check list entided " Potential Industrial Health Hazards."
