Abstract
ABOUT a year ago, a number of men of science interested in operational research began meeting together in the rooms of the Royal Society to discuss the development of methods and the application of this field of science. Papers were read and discussed in connexion with road traffic, productivity in the cotton industry, use of fertilizers by farmers, the organisation of inspection in the steel industry, etc. An “Operational Research Club” has now grown out of these meetings, and a healthy programme of papers for this session has been planned. In order to maintain the informal nature of the meetings, it has been necessary to limit the membership ; but it is intended to include representatives from most of the operational research teams working in industrial and other civil fields, together with some from the defence services. The honorary secretary of the Club is Mr. D. Neville-Jones, 24 Rutland Gate, London, S.W.7.
