    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Bureau of Standards Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 Dear Colleague: | hope that you find this new Standard Reference Materials Catalog to be the best edition we have issued. We have tried to make it user oriented to help you find the materials you need both quickly and easily. We think, and hope you will agree, that the revised alphabetical index is a major improvement over earlier editions. Because finding the right SRM out of almost 1,000 can be difficult, | would like to suggest the following approach: 1. Start with the Contents, 2. Flip though the Catalog to see its organization, 3. Browse through the Alphabetical Index. Most of the materials are classified by matrix (such as steel) or by use (such as Clinical chemistry). However, with such diverse offerings, the categories are not mutually exclusive, and you may find some materials of interest to you in any part of the Catalog. The 1984-1985 Catalog went to about 45,000 people. At least 60,000 copies of this one will be distributed. | think this indicates an increasing interest in quality measurements. We are happy to be part of this tradition and welcome you to the growing family of SRM users. Sincerely, eh D. oo Stanley D. Rasberry P.S. Please do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions about the SRM’s described, their availability, or if you cannot find what you need. We would be happy to have your suggestions for improved service and new SRM’s (see Guide for Requesting the Development of New SRM’s).
