Abstract
My discussion today will take the form of a brief review of what we at the National Bureau of Standards have done in the study of the mechanism of fire extinguishment by means of dry chemicals, what we are doing now, and what we would like to do. Some of the problems we are now considering may have been studied by other groups; if this is the case we would appreciate any comments you can make as a result of your experience.
