Abstract
THE publication of the first volume of the Journal of the Institute of Metals marks the completion of a full year's work. The institute has been formed to advance and disseminate knowledge in connection with the manufacture and properties of the non-ferrous metals and alloys. The members are fortunate in having for first president Sir Win. White, who delivered an excellent address, in the course of which he dealt in a very able manner as well with the delicate subject of “trade secrets” as with the important one of the relationships between manufacturers and users of metals, although his oftreiterated special pleading for the National Physical Laboratory during the meetings must have been rather wearying to the other important workers represented.
