Abstract
THE fifth Congress of the International Association for the testing of engineering materials met at Copenhagen on September 7–11. The attendance at this congress was very much larger than that at the previous meeting, which took place at Brussels three years ago. There was a particularly marked increase in the British representation, which had risen from about fifteen at Brussels to more than forty at Copenhagen. Among the British representatives were Mr. G. C. Lloyd, British member of council of the International Association, Mr. J. E. Stead, F.R.S., and Messrs. B. Blount, F. W. Harbord, L. Robertson, E. O. Sachs, F. Tomlinson, W. Rosenhain, and A. G. Roberts. Among the Continental members, Profs. Martens and Heyn (Berlin), H. Le Chatelier and L. Guillet (Paris), Messrs. Webster, Moldenke, Hatt, and Windsor-Richards (U.S.A.), were some of the best known. The membership of the congress thus very fully represented both engineering science and practice.
