Abstract
THE Fourth Reunion of the Comite Consultatif International des Radiocommunications (C.C.I.R.) will take place in Bucharest on May 21-June 8. The previous meeting was held in Lisbon in 1934 (see NATURE Sept. 29, p. 490), and in the intervening three years the various national committees have investigated miscellaneous technical problems in connexion with radio communication. The matters under discussion at the present time include the study of the propagation of waves, direction finding, the measurement and means of suppression of the various types of interfering noise experienced in radio reception, and the improvement of transmitters, particularly from the point of view of frequency stability and the consequent reduction of interstation interference. Other matters which will be discussed at Bucharest, and upon which it is evidently desirable to secure the greatest measure of international agreement, concern the allocation of wave-bands to the various types of radio-communication services, and the nomenclature employed in designating these wave-bands and the corresponding frequency ranges. It is anticipated that some twenty nations will participate in the Bucharest conference, and the British delegation will include representatives of the Post Office, National Physical Laboratory, British Broadcasting Corporation and the various manufacturing and operating companies.
