Abstract
FOR some time past the need has been felt for closer co-operation between the users of X-ray diffraction methods. In industry, for example, many new applications are being found for these methods, and their simplicity and directness make them valuable additions to industrial testing procedure. Their use may sometimes be entirely empirical, but a sound understanding of the theoretical basis is necessary in order that the practical worker shall both recognize the limitations of his methods and be able to tackle the more unusual problems that are bound occasionally to be presented to him. It is desirable, therefore, that there should be some means for the technician to become acquainted with the latest results of theory, and for academic circles to learn of the problems that X-ray analysis is being called upon to solve.
