Abstract
LEAD sulphide photo-conductive cells were first manufactured during the War in Germany by Gudden, Kaspar, Kutzscher and others, though details have not yet been published. In late 1944 work on these cells was begun in Great Britain, and methods of manufacture were developed at the Admiralty Research Laboratory. This work will be described elsewhere. It is the purpose of this note to emphasize the value of these detectors for the measurement of rapidly varying surface temperatures, a problem which often arises in physical and engineering laboratories.
