Abstract: To those not closely related to industry and its technology I suppose a fair question might be why do we need standards. To them, I might say, look around you and see what standardization has done. A very familar item around most homes is the lowly light bulb. You can buy them made by some of the major names in industry, or under brand names of some ol the larger retail outlets, or even under brand names you have never heard of. Yet a lamp of a particular type from any of these sources will fit an appropriate socket made by some other manufacturer. This is standardization at work, for only because there are specific dimensional tolerances for the screw threads of the lamp base and the socket it screws into, precisely defined in a standard, can this occur.
