Then, too, there is theproblem of re-substitution: alternativematerials themselves have—in morethan one instance—appeared on thecritical list a few short months afterthey had been introduced into West-ern Electric manufacture. To cope with multiplexities of theconservation program, the Bell Sys-tem, early in 1941, set up an Inter-company Committee consisting of H.S. Osborne, A. T. & T.s plant engi-neer; D. F. G. Eliot, Western Elec-trics general purchasing agent; R. L.Jones, director of apparatus develop-ment. Bell Telephone Laboratories;and Stanley Bracken, W.
