Abstract
THE report of the Industrial Research Bureau of the Government of India for the year 1939–40 (Delhi: Manager of Publications. 1s. 9d.) refers to the reorganization entailed by the decision to curtail severely plans for expanding the staff of the Bureau and the Government Test House. The Industrial Research Bureau and Research Branch of the Government Test House have now been merged by the formation of the Board of Scientific and Industrial Research and the office of the Director of Scientific and Industrial Research, the first director being Sir Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar. The report on the work of the Industrial Research Council refers to investigations carried out on oils and soaps as well as on the development of the glass industry, and particularly to progress made in the designing and installation of improved glass–melting furnaces. Progress has been made in the survey of deposits of glass–making materials as well as in the survey of the oil–seeds crushing industry.
