Abstract
A JOINT summer meeting of the members of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland and of the North-east Coast Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders was held in Glasgow on August 4, 5, and 6. It is of interest to note that, although a large number of works and shipbuilding yards was thrown open to visitors, no works in which Admiralty work is under construction were included. This arises from the firms concerned paying respect to the wishes of the Admiralty that as much secrecy as possible should be observed regarding the details and progress of Government work. Wednesday and Thursday mornings were reserved for the reading and discussion of papers, of which we give brief extracts.
