Abstract
IN order that the. Advisory Council may be in a position to do justice to the branches of industry concerned in proposed researches of great importance which have been submitted to the council by institutions and individuals, it has decided to appoint standing committees of experts. Strong committees in mining and metallurgy have already been constituted, consisting both of scientific men and of leaders of the industries concerned. The Mining Committee will have two sections, dealing respectively with the mining of non-metals and the mining of metals. Sir William Garforth, the well-known coalowner, has accepted the chairmanship of the committee and of the non-metals section; and Mr. Edgar Taylor, of the firm of John Taylor and Sons, owners and managers of metalliferous mines in vario is parts of the world, has accepted the chairmanship of the metals section. The Metallurgy Committee will also have two sections, dealing in this case with ferrous and nonferrous metals respectively. Sir Gerald Muntz, Bart., of Muntz Metal Co., Ltd., Birmingham, has accepted the chairmanship of the committee and of the non-ferrous section; and Sir Robert Hadfield, of Hadfield's, Ltd., Sheffield, has accepted the chairmanship of the ferrous section. The Advisory Council hopes at an early date to constitute a similar committee for engineering.
