Abstract
SOME years ago, as a result of the action taken by certain members of the Royal Institute of British Architects, a Committee was set up composed of representatives of that Institute, the Institute of Metals, and the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association, charged with the duty of making arrangements for the experimental investigation of the causes of the atmospheric corrosion of non-ferrous metals. The necessary funds were provided by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association, and various interested persons. Mr. W. H. J. Vernon was appointed to carry out the experimental work, and the report of his first investigation was presented and discussed at the Faraday Society on December 17 last.
