Abstract
A PLENARY congress of the International Scientific Radio Union (Union Radio Scientifique Internationale) is being held in London on September 11-19. The “U.R.S.I.” is one of the constituent bodies of the International Council of Scientific Unions, and its secretariat is conducted by Dr. R. B. Goldschmidt in Brussels. This is the first occasion on which the Union has met in London, and representatives of some twelve or more nations are in attendance. The Congress is being held in the rooms of the Royal Society, Burlington House, with Dr. W. H. Eccles acting for the president of the Union, Prof. A. E. Kennelly, who is unfortunately prevented by ill-health from making the journey from the United States. The British National Committee of the U.R.S.I. is led by its president, Prof. E. V. Applet on, with Prof. S. Chapman as secretary and Dr. E. H. Rayner as president of the reception committee. The work of the assembly is divided among five commissions dealing respectively with radio measurements and standards, the propagation of waves, atmospherics, liaison, and radio physics. Sub-commissions have been appointed to deal with the detail work on the agenda falling under these subjects. The London meeting includes certain technical visits and other appropriate engagements of interest to the delegates from other countries.
