'This is the sixth edition of "Specification" published since the outbreak of war. It is smaller in size than pre-war issues. War-time restrictions on the use of paper have made it necessary to reduce "Specification" by approximately one-third of its pages. The resetting of the book has however made it possible to condense rather than cut the contents so that although the volume is now smaller than in pre-war days it contains more information and forms an ideal body for expansion when the war is over. The policy of compressing and condensing has been followed again for the 1945 edition which contains much that did not appear in 1944. This volume includes in addition to new and revised matter throughout two new sections: Ventilation and Illumination; four rewritten sections Metal Windows Plastics Plumber and Drainlayer and new matter concerning lightweight aggregates mastics and vapour barriers' editor's note. A further note beneath the Contents header reads 'it is possible that owing to war restrictions some of the proprietary materials mentioned in the editorial pages of "Specification" may for a time be unobtainable'.
