Abstract
A SUMMER SCHOOL in Metal Physics will be held in the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, during August 23-September 3. The School will provide an introduction to the application of physical methods to the examination and utilization of metals, and is intended for those whose researches require a more fundamentally physical approach than is usual in ordinary metallurgical and engineering practice. The lectures and demonstrations will deal with (a) application of X-ray methods in the examination of metals, (b) physical and mechanical properties of metals. Both parts will be taken by all attending the School, and for Part (a) an elementary knowledge of X-ray diffraction methods and of crystal symmetry will be assumed. A detailed syllabus and form of application for admission can be obtained from G. F. Hick-son, Secretary of the Board of Extra-Mural Studies, Stuart House, Cambridge, to whom the completed application form should be returned not later than June 1.
