Data were compiled from the National Register of Scientific and Technical Personnel maintained by the National Science Foundation so that timely information would be available on the supply and professional characteristics of scientific personnel in important science fields. Information in the National Register is updated every two years. The data presented here are preliminary results from the 1962 questionnaire returns. The American Institute of Physics is responsible for the Physics and Astronomy Section which comprises about ten percent of the total National Register.

This summary article, written by George E. Hudson of the New York University Physics Department and William Atkinson of the Radio Standards Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards, resulted from an informal discussion period during the International Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements, which was held August 14–17, 1962, in Boulder, Colo. Norman Ramsey of Harvard presided. Sponsored by the NBS Radio Standards Laboratory in Boulder, the IRE Professional Group on Instrumentation, and the AIEE Instrumentation Division, the conference was partially supported by the National Science Foundation.
