Classification of Topics Relating to Corrosion★

A classification system intended as a basis for the compilation of a complete corrosion bibliography and for the recording and indexing of technical enquiries is described. It is based on the Abstract Filing Index, published by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers. Rearranged and expanded, it is capable of accommodating all the subject headings appearing in the corrosion bibliography, initiated by W. H. J. Vernon and subsequently maintained in card index form in the Chemical Research Laboratory, Teddington. Classification and index are briefly described, and examples are given of their use and application. 1.4
