APPENDIX. 



PRELIMINARY REPORTS. 



Preliminary reports vary greatly in different projects, but in general are of 

 two classes : 



(1) Those summarizing existing knowledge on a given subject. 



(2) Those discussing conditions at a particular plant or place at which it 

 is proposed to conduct a project. 



In every case an outline for the preliminary report must be approved by the 

 executive officer before an investigation is begun. The following outlines are 

 suggestive only, and may be modified as required for adaptation to specific 

 projects.
