Description:Excerpt from Reprint and Circular Series of the National Research Council, Vol. 12: Industrial Research These fields are those of (a) so called scientific or pure research, most largely exemplified in our universities and higher institutions of learning; (b) engineering; (c) industrial research and (d) general business. Trained as an engineer in a technical school having more or less the standard scholastic ideas of the time as to the proper form of engineering education, chance threw me in the way of spending four years at the University of Chicago in physical, mathematical and chemical research under Prof. A. A. Michelson, one of the world's greatest living physicists - a Nobel prize winner. This novitiate under the tutelage of a master seeker after truth in the realm of physical science completed, I again took up my engineering profession in the form of graduate study and teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and had no more than completed this work when chance again threw me back into the research field- this time on the industrial side and for what appears to be a life pursuit. For the past fifteen years I have been intimately associated with the research and engineering activities of the Bell Telephone System, first as the transmission engineer of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and for the past seven years as assistant chief engineer and chief engineer of the Western Electric Company, Incorporated, which is the research, development and manufacturing part of the Bell System. During this time, which spans nearly the whole of the period of organized industrial research in America, the entire spirit and atmosphere of engineering work in the telephone field has changed from one of inventive experimentation and rule of thumb methods to one in which the principles of scientific research govern practically every course of action. During this period the research laboratories of the System, which were among the earliest to be established in this country, have grown from one or two back rooms in an old building until they now occupy nearly a half million feet of floor space in a building especially designed for their accommodation. At the same time the stall has grown from one or two trained men to one of a number of thousand trained men and women, a large number of whom are graduates of leading research universities and laboratories throughout the world. Having attempted to qualify, I will now try to give you a picture of the industrial research situation and its problems as I sec it. It needs no statement from me to apprise you of the fact that research and particularly industrial research, is very actively in people's minds and before the public at the present time.
