Abstract
AS year succeeds year, the visitor to the British Industries Fair, on the lookout for exhibits of scientific interest, finds the range and variety ever greater. Looking back over a period of years, he cannot fail to be struck with the emergence from time to time of entirely new industries, ths fruits of scientific research and discovery. Not only so, but also the scope of long-established industries is being continually widened, as new products or new applications of old products are discovered. As one goes through the specifically scientific exhibits or exhibits possessing some scientific interest, one can picture the charactei and the extent of the prolonged scientific research that must have preceded the eventual production of the materials or articles exhibited.
