Abstract
THE Engineers' German Circle (Deutscher Ingen-ieurzirkel in London) was formed in 1931, with the joint support of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, and of tho Verein deutscher Ingenieure, Berlin, to further the study of technical German, to give opportunities of hearing lectures in German by eminent German-speaking technical men, and to bring together engineers interested in Continental technical developments. Meetings are held at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers about onco every four weeks during the sassions, on Mondays at 6 P.M. Members meet for tea and social intercourse from 5.15 P.M. Lectures are, so far as possible, illustrated with lantern slides, in order to help members to understand better the technical terms involved; and as a rule, they last about forty minutes, which allows time for a short discussion in German to follow. The lecturers are asked to use simple language and to speak slowly for the benefit of those not very familiar with German. The present session opened on Oct. 10. Tho subscription to the Circle is 5s. a year, and the Secretary is Mr. H. P. Spratt, Science Museum, London, S.W.7.
