Abstract
THE outstanding feature of the proceedings at the annual meeting of the Institute of Metals, held at Burlington House on March 21 and 22, was a general discussion on metal melting, organised by the council. Whether it was chiefly due to the fact that this subject aroused an unusual amount of interest among the members, or that war problems in metallurgy have created a desire to discuss those problems more freely than hitherto, the fact remains that in the last three months the institute has added more new members than it did in the previous two years; that the attendance was very much larger than it has ever been at any other meeting in the course of its history; and that the discussions on the various papers contributed were of unusual fullness and value.
