Abstract
DR. FERRANTI was a valued member of the National Physical Laboratory Committee entrusted with the supervision of the experiments made possible by the use of the high tension equipment supplied by his firm. We shall miss his advice greatly. There is, however, a slip in the admirable account of his work in NATURE for Feb. 1, p. 172, which he would have been the first to wish to see corrected. According to the Report of the High Tension Committee, printed in the Report of the National Physical Laboratory for 1928, p. 163, “The high voltage transformers were supplied by Messrs. Ferranti, Ltd., to the design of Messrs. E. Haefly and Co., S.A. of Bâle, who constructed certain parts”.
