Abstract
PROF. M. L. E. OLIPHANT, of the University of Birmingham, took as the subject of his evening discourse to the British Association, delivered at Cambridge on August 22, the contributions of engineers, more especially electrical engineers, to the science of physics. To cover the whole field in a single lecture would be impossible and so he confined himself to a few only of the technical contributions made by electrical engineers to physics. He began by making a quotation from a dinner speech of Lord Rutherford.
