Abstract
DURING the week of July 23–30 a summer school on "Applied Eleoironics for Spectroscopists", spon sored by the Photoelectric Spectrometry Group, was held at university College, Southampton, by arrangement with the professor of electronic engineering, Prof. E. E. Zenter, and the professor of physics, Prof. A. M. Taylor,who with their staff gave generous help. Mr. C. G. Cannon was organiser for the Group. The syllabus was designed to meet the needs of Spectroscopists requiring electronic techniques, and of electronic engineers who have to design suitable equipment. Its value was confirmed by the very good attendance. Lectures and demonstrations were given by Prof. Zepler, and by Messrs. S. W. Punnett, T. B. Tomlinson and G. H. Johns, of the university College. Prof. A. M. Taylor gave an introductory talk on the research in progress in the Physics Department, which stimulated many informal discussions. Three members of the Group, Messrs. P. Popper (Mitcham Works, Ltd.), J. C. O. Rochester (Sir Howard Grubb, Parsons and Co.), and E. Schwarz (Hilger and Watts, Ltd.), also contributed lectures on special subjects. A full account of the summer school will appear in the Photoelectric Spectrometry Group Bulletin, and it is hoped eventually to issue the complete notes of the course in book form.
