Abstract
BRITISH technical research has been, in the past, rather contemptuously treated by practitioners at home. The younger technicians have generally been carried away by the apparent profundity of Continental discussion, and the older industrialists have been only too happy to accept information of foreign origin, without question. The same idea is displayed in the readiness to take up licences for developments elsewhere. This common and persistent attitude reflects a doubt as to the capacity of home efforts in inquiry and research to provide adequate guidance in design and development.
