Abstract
THE three technical reports before us deal with the manufacture of sulphuric, nitric, and picric acids during the war. The reports are compiled on similar lines to those of the four earlier volumes which have already been reviewed in these columns (NATURE, April 29, 1922, p. 54); and since the methods and workmanship of Mr. W. Macnab are now well known, it is not necessary to describe in detail the type of information which they contain. It may, however, be of interest to review briefly the general situation as regards supplies of acids which had to be met by the Department of Explosives Supply, and the way in which the problem was solved by the workers of that Department, as disclosed in these three reports.
