Abstract
IN connexion with an editorial note in the April issue of the Review of Scientific Instruments, American manufacturers are urged to keep in touch with the fundamental science of physics in all industries which deal with the mechanical and electrical properties of materials, the flow of heat, the use of colour and the reproduction of sound; and some useful information is given as to the means at present available for securing this contact. The Review, which is published monthly, goes free to every member of five scientific societies and at a reduced subscription to any person who already subscribes to one of the seven other journals dealing with physics, which are published in the United States. A large proportion of the five to six thousand copies of the Review goes into the hands of people associated in one way or other with manufacturers, but the editors consider that in the interest of industry many more copies should be utilised in this way. It is hoped that the association of local physical societies with the recently formed American Institute of Physics will help to link physics and industry more closely throughout the United States.
