Excerpt from Report and Resolutions Adopted by the First Conference of Government Officers Engaged in Dealing With Statistics in the British Empire: Held at the Board of Trade on 20th January 26th February, 1920
The delegates have, on several occasions during the meetings of the Conference, inspected different types of tabulating and calculating machinery in use in Government offices and else where. The Conference recognised that advancing require ments for statistical information render the use of mechanical calculating appliances and of sorting and tabulating machinery not only advantageous but essential in dealing with many classes of returns. The opportunities afforded for examining such appliances have been of much service to those in whose work the introduction or extension of their use affords a promise of increased efficiency combined with the greatest economy obtainable.
