Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Acheson Duncan's research centered mainly on the economic design of control charts and the sampling of bulk materials. In Series 2: Research are papers that describe Duncan's work in these fields as well as his research for industrial applications. In Boxes 2 and 3, filed alphabetically by subject, are files that contain Duncan's computations, notes, correspondence with industries, design of experiments, control studies, and analysis of processes. In Box 4 are files on sampling that have been grouped separately because they are representative of the specialized work in the field of statistical quality control for which Duncan was well known. The materials in this last box of the series describe research in bulk sampling, distribution, testing, and simulations.
