Abstract: All will readily agree to the vital importance of automatic control in some of the more complicated of present day industrial processes-for example, the modern oil refinery with its complicated and sensitive cracking and fractionating processes. Another familiar example is the newly developed synthetic rubher industry. Neither industry could operate successfully without automatic control correctly designed and correctly applied, The oil refining industry was probably the first industry to recognize the value of automatic control and as a result there is probably a better understanding of the fundamentals of automatic control among process engineers engaged in refinery work than in any other group. Automatic control fundamentals have also come in lor considerable attention from another group of engineers, those interested primarily in controllers themselves. Naturally an engineering subject such as control lends Itself to mathematical treatment and considerable work has been dftne by control engineers to explain control fundamentals mathematically, apart from any specific industrial application. Certainly this mathematical approach is worth while and will provide the basis of future development work by control engineers.
