Abstract
AN exhibition on similar lines to those of the British Science Guild's Exhibition of last summer is now being held by the Corporation of Glasgow, with the assistance of a scientific advisory committee. The Kelvin Hall, in which the exhibition is held, was erected for the purpose of holding a series of industrial exhibitions, and the Corporation has a special department for their organisation. The exhibits are housed in a single building and on one level, so that there is ample space for their display, and power is available for setting machinery in motion and allowing demonstrations of high-temperature operations. The exhibits are, therefore, seen under very favourable conditions, and the response to the invitafion to exhibit has been very gratifying. Owing to an unfortunate combination of circumstances, several firms which were represented in London have been unable to appear, and the absence of some of the leading instrument firms is noticeable; but many of the London exhibits reappear, in some cases in an enlarged form, whilst there have been many additions, especially in regard to engineering and shipbuilding.
