Abstract
DURING the war years, Sir Lawrence Bragg put forward several interesting suggestions for the application of the principles of physical optics to crystal-structure determination1,2. These methods seem to us to be of particular importance at the present time in order both to ease the burden of calculation which has enveloped the subject and also to introduce new experimental methods of tackling the initial stages of a structure investigation.
