Abstract
I hope that you people are not too much concerned with the title in the program in that I am going to start from the beginning and talk about standardization. If any of you people had any concern of the American Standards Association in the past and know all about it, will you please bear with me because its so frequent that in an audience like this some people simply know about standardization from what they take for granted. I presume many of you people carne to this hotel with an electric razor. When you got up this morning you found something, you plugged it in and you shaved your face and you just took it for granted. This is fine in the United States because there are American Standards for the plug on the equipment, and for the receptacle on the wall, voltage for the frequence and the current in the circuit. Don't try it in Europe, unless you take about a $25.00 transformer and all kinds of converter plugs to fit the various frequencies, voltages, AC, DC, and whatever you have in Europe.
