Abstract
IN the course of an investigation being carried out at these laboratories into the possible application of lead sulphide cells to industrial radiation pyrometry, some difficulty was experienced in obtaining stable calibration of an experimental pyrometer due to the apparently high temperature coefficient of sensitivity of the cells. An examination has therefore been made of the temperature coefficients of some sample cells, 'evaporated' type, in the range of normal ambient temperatures.
