Accordingly at South Altoona, Pa., it equipped a foundry with one of the country’s most complete material handling systems used in the production of brass castings. The accompanying photographs and captions describe some of the many elaborate and |! unusual material handling devices. The operation of the foundry is continuous, the molds being poured on moving conveyors from which the castings are continually delivered to a further conveyor while the used sand on still another conveyor is returned to the recondition ing equipment.

Recognized statistical bodies and yublications such as THE IRON AGE of course known of the work be- ne done and had made attempts to it about it. I am informed that ‘these organizations have been \ o make more than a cursory <amination of data or methods. THE IRON AGE, some several months ago, wrote to Dr. Scott requesting the re- port of the organization on its work to date, but was informed through its “Public Relations Counsel” that no report was available. The cleverly written and quite sensa- tional article in the Outlook was there- fore the first broad public announce- ment of Technocracy. So far as I am aware, no recognized statistical, engi- neering body or organization of economists were asked to examine, criticise or substantiate either data or conclusions before the publication in the New Outlook. If Technocracy attempts to stand ipon its presentation to the public in the New O tlook, pery footing. I venture the predic- tion that author and article will be disowned. However, in view of the contrast between the freedom with which the young author speaks for and about Technocracy, and the obstacles placed before recognized engineering and statistical bodies who have sought to examine Technocracy’s data, the disclaimer may not be easily made. it will be upon slip- Some of you are aware, as I am, | Or- Dr. ‘t in ere, and AGE be- 3 to that een orv HI EPRINTED in the daily newspapers from coast to coast, the article “Plain Talk About Technocracy” in The Iron Age of Dec. 1, has un- doubtedly caused more comment than any other pronouncement in this publication in many years. Proving, as it did, the vulnerability of Tech nocracy’s data and methods, it formed the spear head for the ensuing rebuttal from many quarters, which has effectively squelched the bogey man of technological disaster. The accompanying amplification and extension of this rebuttal, repre senting an abstract of Mr. Van Deventer’s remarks before the Conference of Statisticians in Industry, at The National Industrial Conference Board Dec. 13. It may be of some significance to our readers to know that Tech nocracy was urged to present its side of the case at the same time befor this important group of recognized statistical authorities, but failed t accept the invitation. It might be surmised from this that Technocracy is more interested in presenting its assertions to the layman than its proofs to experts. Ie , } Y ?
