Extract

The following article by L. L. Wyman is reprinted from Fifty Years of Progress in Metallurgical Techniques, ASTM STP 430, 1968, contains information on the early role of ASTM Committee E-4 in the publication of the early Powder Diffraction File data cards and in the formation of the Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards. In fact, Roy Wyman was probably the single most instrumental individual in obtaining the sponsorship by ASTM for the continued publication of the PDF up to 1969 when JCPDS became an independent corporation. Roy was on the Board of Directors of JCPDS from the time of its incorporation until his death in 1976. He was Treasurer of JCPDS from 1971 to 1974 and Chairman from 1974 to 1975. Committee E-4 is still active and is the Committee within ASTM which maintains Cooperative Society status with the JCPDS-ICDD.
