Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advances in Military Medicine, Vol. 2: Made by American Investigators Working Under the Sponsorship of the Committee on Medical Research Under the terms of the contract for the publication of Advances in Military Medicine, Volume II, and of the other volumes in the long history Of the activities Of the Office of Scientific Research and Develop ment, entitled Science in World War II, the publisher has agreed to waive its right under the copyright of each separate volume after ten years from the date of publication Of such volume. Thereafter the volume in question will be in the public domain and dedicated to the public. This history of osrd is intended to be a survey of the way in which certain weapons were developed, improved, or brought into use and medical knowledge was extended and applied to military situations. It is not intended to be a complete documentary record of the making of the inventions that happen to be mentioned in it. Therefore the dates used, which serve to outline the general chronology, do not necessarily establish dates of conception of inventions, Of their reduction to practice, or Of occasions of first use. Moreover, in the interest Of simplicity, credit for the development of a device is frequently given to a group identified by the name Of its leader, rather than to the individual who was the actual inventor.
