11、s March,1926,when the Sectional Committee on the Standardization of Machine Pins was organized under the procedure of the American Standards Association(later the United States of America Standards Institute and as of October 6,1969,the American National Standards Institute,Inc.),with the Society of
12、 Automotive Engineers and the American Society of Me-chanical Engineers as joint sponsors.For the next year or two,an effort was made via correspondence to develop a basis on which a standard for straight,taper,split,and dowel pins might be established.This correspondence developed a distinct differ
13、ence of opinion on the part of the manufacturers and users of taper machine pins,which fact seemed to discourage the members of the committee from attempting standardization on any of the types of pins within its scope.The sponsor organizations made frequent efforts to revive this project through le
14、tters and the distribution of technical literature on this general subject,without avail.In December,1941,in its periodic review of standards projects for which the Society is sponsor,the ASME Standardization Committee decided that there was little hope for reviving this project and voted,subject to
15、 acceptance by the sponsors,to suggest to the ASA the transfer of this project to Sectional Committee B5 on the Standardization of Small Tools and Machine Tool Elements.The sponsors agreed and on July 7,1942,the ASA sanctioned this action and Sectional Committee B43 was discharged and the project wa
16、s officially transferred to Sectional Committee B5.At its meeting in December,1942,Sectional Committee B5 voted to enlarge its scope to include machine pins.Technical Committee No.23 was subsequently established and charged with the responsibility for technical content of standards covering machine pins.This group held its first meeting on November 30,1943,at which time a Subgroup on Correlation and Recommendations was appointed and it was voted to include clevis pins in addition to the other pi
