The Bureau serves also as a focal point in the Federal Government for assuring maximum application of the physical and engineering sciences to the advancement of technology in industry and commerce. To accomplish this mission, the Bureau is organized into three institutes covering broad program areas of research and services: THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS . provides the central basis within the United States for a complete and consistent system of physical measurements, coordinates that system with the measurement systems of other nations, and furnishes essential services leading to accurate and uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry, and commerce. This Institute comprises a series of divisions, each serving a classical subject matter area: —Applied Mathematics—Electricity—Metrology—Mechanics—Heat—Atomic Physics—Physical Chemistry—Radiation Physics—Laboratory Astrophysics-—Radio Standards Laboratory,^ which includes Radio Standards Physics and Radio Standards Engineering- -Office of Standard Refer- ence Data. THE INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH . conducts materials research and provides associated materials services including mainly reference materials and data on the properties of ma- terials. Beyond its direct interest to the Nation's scientists and engineers, this Institute yields services which are essential to the advancement of technology in industry and commerce. This Institute is or- ganized primarily by technical fields: —Analytical Chemistry—Metallurgy—Reactor Radiations—Polymers—Inorganic Materials—Cry- ogenics"—Materials Evaluation Laboratory—Office of Standard' Reference Materials. THE INSTITUTE FOR APPLIED TECHNOLOGY . provides technical services to promote the use of available technology and to facilitate technological innovation in industry and government. The principal elements of this Institute are: —Building Research—Electronic Instrumentation—Textile and Apparel Technology Center Technical Analysis—Center for Computer Sciences and Technology—Office of Weights and Meas- ures—Office of Engineering Standards Services—Office of Invention and Innovation—Clearing- house for Federal Scientific and Technical Information.^ 1 Headquarters and Laboratories at Gaithersburg, Maryland, unless otherwise noted; mailing address Washington, D.

It lists technical publications issued during 1960-1965 inclusive, together with some issued earlier but omitted in Monograph 35, As in preparing the original Monograph, the aim has been to meet the needs of scientists, engineers, and others for a general source of information on vacuum measurement. For this purpose, the author and subject indices should be particularly helpful. This publication was compiled as part of the work on vacuum standards which is now in progress under the supervision of E, C. Lloyd, Chief of the Mechanical Measurements Branch of the NBS Mechanics Division, and S. Ruthberg, Chief of the Vacuum Measurements Section, A. V, Astin, Director III Contents Page Foreword III 1.

Brombacher The bibliography, a supplement to NBS Monograph 35, of the same title, covers the years 1960 to 1965, inclusive, and includes 109 references for prior years not listed in Monograph 35. It contains 1787 references, 38 of which are to books. The references, besides those directly concerned with pressure measure- ment, include those on vacuum technology which may bear on the technique of vacuum measurement, such as on adsorption and desorption, diffusion of gases into solids, gas conductance and hardware such as pumps, seals and traps. Author and subject indices are provided. KEY WORDS: bibliography, low pressure measurement, techniques of vacuum measurement, vacuum index, vacuum measurement.
