This Handbook, as indicated in the "Foreword," was prepared to

assist Western Electric people in performing Western Electric Com-
pany work. Others elsewhere may also think it useful as a guide
for applying statistical quality control. The Company has printed
a limited number of copies beyond its own requirements to meet
such interest. These copies are available at $7.50, postage paid.
Inquiries may be addressed to Superintendent, Quality Assurance,
Western Electric Company, Inc., 222 Broadway, New York N. Y.
