Abstract
MR. W. BOWEN, governing director of the Bowen Instrument Co., Ltd., Cables and Plastics, Ltd., and Bowen Research, has presented to the Scientific Instrument Manufacturers' Association a substantial capital sum, the income of which he wishes to be devoted towards the encouragement and development of invention, design, research, processes and manufacturing technique in the scientific instrument manufacturing industry. The Council of the Association has accordingly drawn up a deed of trust under which the income from the fund is to be devoted each year to prizes to be awarded to the employees of members submitting papers fulfilling the objects of the trust. For the current year the Council has decided to award five prizes to the value of £25 each for (a) a new invention; (b) an improvement of design; (c) an improvement in manufacturing technique; (d) a new development or new process arising from research; and a list of topics defining the subjects or instruments admissible has been drawn up. Candidates should furnish a short description of one of the above subjects not exceeding 3,000 words with relevant sketches or diagrams, and they must be employees of members of the Association. All papers must be submitted to the secretaries of the Association, Messrs. Binder, Hamlyn and Co., River Plate House, 12–13 South Place, London, E.C.2, not later than December 31, 1945.
