Criteria were established for the screening of back
issues of technical journals to determine relevance in the light of
later technological development. The rate at which technical
material is absorbed in a given industry was considered to be based
on the characteristics of the industry and the particular
technology involved. It was recognized that the development period
for a process in the non-durable goods industries was one to two
years, with the process reaching its maximum application in two to
three years after which the process importance may decline. For
durable goods the transition from development to application and
continued use period was much longer.

There was precedent for this abstract service in similar
work within the BLS. Abstracts and digests during this period were
currently being prepared for use by American industry covering 200
journals. A larger coverage of journals were abstracted by the BLS
in the early 1940s. Various BLS programs for U.S. abstracts
extended back into the 1930s. 39

Digests and articles sent to Northern and Central Europe
were translated into French, German, Italian, Icelandic, Austrian,
Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Dutch. In other regions they were
translated in whole or part into Castilian Spanish, Latin American
Spanish, Turkish, Greek, Serbo-Croat, Farsi, Arabic, Pushtu,
Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese, Israeli, and Korean languages.
