The article attempts to compare the documentation techniques and arrangements in the U.S. and Great Britain and contains the author's personal impressions of his visit to the U.S. He found the Bureau of Standards library and information services similar to those in the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington and the services available in the large industrial organizations we visited the same as those available in similar organizations in Great Britain. More facilities exist for the provision of special bibliographies in the U.S. than in Great Britain but the value of these facilities appears to me to be more than counterbalanced by the facilities which exist for obtaining technical information from the specialized organizations in Great Britain, particularly those associated with DSIR.
