14、sociation(ASA)(later the United States ofAmericaStandardsInstitute,andasofOctober6,1969,theAmericanNationalStandardsInstitute,Inc.ANSI),with the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE International)and the AmericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers(ASME)as joint sponsors.For the next year or two,an effort
15、 was made via correspondence to develop a basis on whicha standard for straight,taper,split,and dowel pins might be established.This correspondencedeveloped a distinct difference of opinion on the part of the manufacturers and users of tapermachine pins,which fact seemed to discourage the members of
16、 the committee from attemptingstandardization on any of the types of pins within its scope.The sponsor organizations madefrequent efforts to revive this project through letters and the distribution of technical literatureon this general subject,without avail.In December 1941,in its periodic review of standardsprojects for which the Society was sponsor,the ASME Standardization Committee decided thatthere was little hope for reviving this project and voted,subject to acceptance by the sponsors,to
