Abstract
ADOLF GALLENKAMP, whose death at the age of eighty-eight years occurred on February 26, founded the firm which bears his name about fifty years ago. He was a shrewd observer, and foresaw that a wider recognition of science in academic and industrial circles in Great Britain was inevitable. In conformity with this view, he devoted the early part of his business career to the provision of apparatus for schools, of a better and more varied type than that previously in use. The success achieved in this direction led him to extend his work to higher educational institutions, and he found a special field in the technical colleges and polytechnics which were being established in different parts of the country. Later, he extended his activities to the special requirements of industrial laboratories and the medical and other professions, and always strove to provide the latest and best types of apparatus.
