Central Electricity Generating Board R&D information services

In a paper of this nature it is difficult to avoid presenting a catalogue in the what we do in our …' vein. Yet any claim to usefulness will probably lie in providing an outline of the service for comparison purposes and, incidentally, in showing possible areas of co‐operation with other information units. For that reason, before describing the information activities of the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB), it may be appropriate to outline the structure of the British electricity supply industry, bringing out the position in it of the CEGB, and then to consider the organization of the Generating Board itself.
