Does FIRE AND WATER ENGINEERING give information concerning standard hose couplings and hydrant fittings and to the work of the Committee of the National Fire Prevention Association relating thereto? This is a subject of vital interest to me and I would like to know first where I can depend on getting this information.

[For the benefit of fire engineers and others interested FIRE AND WATER ENGINEERING records the work of this committee and progress on this subject. A synopsis of the progress of the standard hose coupling appeared in the issue of February 4.—EDITOR.]
