The text discusses the Interdepartmental Screw-Thread Committee, which was established in 1939 to set standards for screw threads used by the federal government. The committee, chaired by the National Bureau of Standards, consists of representatives from various government agencies and industry. It meets on an ad hoc basis to develop and revise standards. The committee's work is important for ensuring that screw threads used in government operations are standardized and compatible. There are no allocated appropriations for the committee, and costs are incurred as part of regular duties. The text also mentions the possibility of switching to the metric system and the existence of an International Standards Committee.
