Excerpt from Index to Proceedings: Volumes 13 20; 1913 1920 The Index covers the contents of Volumes XIII to XX, inclusive of the Proceedings of the American Society for Testing Materials completely, exclusive only of routine business. In 1913 the Proceedings were published in one volume. In the remaining years covered by the Index, the Proceedings appeared in two volumes, Part I containing committee reports, discussions and, since 1916, tentative standards, and Part II technical papers and discussions. The contents of the individual volumes appear in the Table of Con tents of Proceedings that follows the Index. Committee reports have been indexed in two ways: First, each committee report is indexed under the subject designated in its title, at which place a synopsis of the successive reports of the committee is given; second, the subjects covered in the committee reports, including all specifications, methods, definitions, etc., are indexed under the appropriate key words. Titles of papers are distinguished by quotation marks. The list of key words in the Subject Index is given separately at the beginning of the volume. This list, it is believed, will prove a convenience in determining the key word or key words under which the subject sought is likely to appear, before turning to the Subject Index itself. The key words are not restricted to the words in the titles of reports and papers, but the aim has been to further facilitate the search for information on important subjects by directing atten tion through the key words to pertinent matter in the body of the text of reports, papers and discussions. The cross references between key words serve to refer the reader to other places in the Index where information on the subject first consulted might also be found, or to topics that are related to the subject first consulted. In the Author Index, references to committee reports appear under the names of the chairmen, vice-chairmen and secretaries of the committees concerned.
