The tests referred to were conducted by IIT Research Institute and Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., on contract to the National Bureau of Standards, and the March Journal carried a report on those tests. In the following article, Mr. Birght of NBS analyzes the criticisms of the Fire Equipment Manufacturer's Association and replies to them.
