Abstract
DR. F. C. TOY, who succeeds Sir Robert Pickard as director of the British Cotton Industry Research Association, has been deputy director since 1930, and it is a source of pleasure that he is thus enabled to continue and extend the work he has shared with his chief. Dr. Toy is a physicist, educated at Launceston College, Cornwall, and University College, London, of which he is a fellow. He is well known in Institute of Physics circles, being a member of the Board, the Institute's representative on the National Committee for Physics of the Royal Society, and also chairman of the Manchester and District Branch. He served in the War of 1914–18 as an officer in the Royal Engineers, mainly on sound ranging, afterwards becoming chief physicist to the British Photographic Research Association, where for ten years he was occupied in fundamental researches on the mechanism of the photographic process.
