Abstract
THE autumn meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute, which was held at Leeds on September 30 and October 1–4, may fairly be described as a “practical man's” meeting, for although the programme contained approximately an equal number of “practical” and “scientific” papers, those read and discussed at the meeting belonged entirely to the former class. While this is no doubt satisfactory to a large number of members of the institute who take rather less interest in scientific metallurgy than might fairly be expected of them, it is rather hard on the authors of scientific papers and on those members who were attracted to the meeting by the array of such papers on the programme. It is true that on other occasions the programmes have erred in the opposite direction, and it may be hoped that at future meetings a judicious blending of both types of papers may be brought up for discussion.
