Abstract
FOR some considerable time, physicists engaged in the various branches of industrial radiology have expressed a wish for some means whereby they could come together for the mutual discussion of their particular problems. Accordingly, the London and Home Counties' Branch of the Institute of Physics arranged a Conference on Industrial Radiography in January 1941 (see NATURE, February 8, p. 183). As a result of this Conference it was decided to ask the Board of the Institute of Physics to approve the formation of a Radiography Group. The Board's approval having been obtained, the inaugural meeting of the Group was held on May 20, at the Social Centre of Messrs. Kodak, Ltd., Harrow, about seventy people attending-s'ome coming from as far afield as Leven, Motherwell, Sheffield and Derby. The title “Industrial Radiology Group” being approved by those present, Dr. L. Mullins, of the Research Laboratory of Messrs. Kodak, Ltd., was appointed honorary secretary, and the following committee was elected: Drs. W. Betteridge, D. W. Davison, and H. Lowery, Messrs. A. N. Gilchrist, W. L. Harper, H. P. Rooksby, H. S. Tasker, D. E. Thomas, and E. J. Tunnicliffe.
