Abstract
THE Physical Society‘s Annual Exhibition of Scientific instruments and Apparatus will be held during April 5-8, 1949, in the Physics Department of the Imperial College of Science and Technology, South Kensington. The sessions during which the Exhibition will be open are : April 5, 2-9 p.m. ; April 6, 10 a.m.-l p.m., 2-9 p.m. ; April 7 and 8, 10 a.m.-1 p.m., 2-7 p.m. During the Exhibition the following discourses will be delivered : "Some Problems of Wave Diffraction in the Ionosphere", by Mr. J. A. Ratcliffe ; "Some Modern Aspects of Scientific Instruments", by Mr. A. J. Philpot ; "A Review of the Methods and Instruments used in Energy Measurements of Particles in Atomic Nuclei", by Prof. O. R. Frisch. A film on the liquid idophor or teleidoscope will be shown. The Exhibition will also display entries for the craftsmanship and draughtsmanship competition, which is being revived after a lapse during the war years. This competition is organised to encourage and give recognition to skill and ability in craftsmanship and draughtsmanship among apprentices and learners in the instrument-making industry, and a large number of firms and technical institutions is supporting it. The prize-winning entries will afterwards be shown in the Science Museum at South Kensington.
