	The idea of a laboratory dedicated to performing reference measurements for the benefit of the general public apparently had been conceived and implemented in Germany before the beginning of the twentieth century; however, as of 1902, few if any of this laboratory type existed in the United States. Researcher Richard L. Humphrey, writing on cement testing in municipal laboratories in 1902, stated<ref name="P5AM158" />:		The idea of a laboratory dedicated to performing reference measurements for the benefit of the general public apparently had been conceived and implemented in Germany before the beginning of the twentieth century; however, as of 1902, few if any of this laboratory type existed in the United States and other parts of the world. Researcher Richard L. Humphrey, writing on cement testing in municipal laboratories in 1902, stated<ref name="P5AM158" />:
	<blockquote>		<blockquote>
	At the present time only a few of the better equipped municipal laboratories compile and publish in a systematic manner the results of their tests. These tests serve as a guide to aid the engineer, the architect, or the builder (who possess no facilities for making tests of this character), in selecting the best and most suitable material for their work. As these results are obtained under different conditions they are not related and there seems to be no basis for a comparison. Without a knowledge of the methods in vogue and the personal equation of the engineer in charge, it is impossible to form any idea of the relative quality of two cements, where one is tested in one laboratory and the other in another. There is therefore a most urgent need for a central or reference laboratory, conducted under impartial conditions, at the service of the general public, where fixed standards can be maintained and to which all materials of construction can be referred in case of dispute between the producer and consumer or for purposes of general information as to its properties.

Such a laboratory could establish standards of excellence and could conduct its tests in such a manner that the published results would be related and be of general use.</blockquote>		Several foreign laboratories, notably that at Charlottenburg, Germany, are conducted on these lines under government direction and are of immeasurable value. There is no government laboratory of this character in this country at the present time, Most manufacturers and many engineers will no doubt agree that there is a growing need for the same. Such a laboratory could establish standards of excellence and could conduct its tests in such a manner that the published results would be related and be of general use.</blockquote>
