Abstract
ONE of the most outstanding industrial develop-V_y ments in Great Britain during the last generation has been the establishment and rapid expansion of the research association. Some idea of the growth of co-operative research in Great Britain will be gathered from the fact that the expenditure of all the research associations has shown an increase during the last ten years from £300,000 to more than a million pounds a year. On April 27, Sir Charles Goodeve, director of the newly formed British Iron and Steel Research Association, discussed before the Newport Metallurgical Society the function of such organisations and their relationships with the industry concerned on one hand, and other research institutions, such as the universities and the National Physical Laboratory, on the other. Although his remarks were concerned directly with the iron and steel industry, they are of importance in a very much wider field.
