Abstract
IT might appear that in my article on “The Behaviour of Time-Fuzes” in NATURE of October 14 I was describing my own researches. I wish to correct any impression of that kind. The original draft of my article was unsigned, but, unfortunately, I allowed the author's name (inserted by the Editor) to remain in the proof. The experiments described were made by a variety of people at Woolwich, at the National Physical Laboratory, at Cambridge, at University College, London, at Portsmouth, and elsewhere; and not least of the credit for the progress made in our knowledge of fuze-behaviour is due to certain officers of H.M. Army and Navy, on the Ordnance Committee, at the Ministry of Munitions, and at H.M.S. Excellent. My article, however, was intended not to apportion credit, certainly not to claim it, but to describe what I personally regard as the leading lines of development of a strange and interesting scientific by-product of the war.
