Abstract
DURING the period of occupation of the Netherlands by the Germans, much of the scientific work at the N. V. Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken at Eindhoven had, for obvious reasons, to be interrupted temporarily ; but, in spite of all the difficulties, it never completely ceased. Now that the War is ended and the occupied countries have been liberated, Messrs. Philips Lamps Ltd. are anxious to restore the contact between the Netherlands and the rest of the world and to promote scientific co-operation. They hope to resume the publication of Philips Technical Review, which had to be stopped during the occupation, and they announce the introduction of a new scientific journal, Philips Research Reports, The Review is to contain, as formerly, descriptions of Philips' products and their applications, being primarily intended for engineers and technically minded users of the firm's products. The Research Reports will be devoted to the results of pure research work undertaken, in many different fields, in the Company's research laboratories. The journal is to be issued bi-monthly, the six issues in one year forming a volume of about 480 pages and the first volume to be completed in 1946. The first issue is dedicated βto the memory of the firm's employees who lost their lives owing to acts of war and those who fell victim to German oppression in the years 1940-1945β. The issue contains four theoretical papers dealing with the elastic after-effect and diffusion of carbon in alpha-iron, positive grid-current, the stability of lyophobic colloids, and the electric field of a vertical dipole. The price of the journal is 4s. a copy or one guinea a year ; copies may be obtained in Britain from Philips Lamps Ltd., Century House, Shaftesbury Avenue, London, W.C.2.
