Abstract
THE eighteenth Annual Exhibition of the Physical and Optical Societies took place on Jan. 10, 11, and 12 at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. The secretary, Mr. T. Martin, is to be congratulated on the excellence of the arrangements. When space is necessarily limited, as in this journal, in an account of an exhibition on so wide a scale only some typical features can be mentioned. The reader is referred for a detailed report to the Journal of Scientific Instruments, where the lectures will be published in full and a description of the principal exhibits given by experts on the various subjects. A new feature in the arrangements this year was that on the second day of the exhibition the morning was devoted to a private view by the members of the co-operating societies, of which full advantage was taken, and it is to be hoped that this will prove of increasing value. A larger number of visitors attended the exhibition this year, and there was also an increase in the number of firms (eighty-one) exhibiting apparatus, which covered a wide range, and in which the high standard associated with this exhibition was maintained.
