Abstract
The view has been held by many that great benefits could accrue from the establishment of branches of the existing stations of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, or of new laboratories, in different parts of Great Britain. By such developments, the work of these stations could be brought more intimately before the notice of industrialists, practising engineers and others, and it would be more convenient for them to obtain the greatest benefit from the researches in progress by the most effective method-that of direct consultation and discussion with the staffs concerned. There is also the important argument that the research establishments themselves would be able more readily to appreciate the needs of industrial concerns and authorities in different places.
