Abstract
THE testing of photographic plates presents to-day a number of complexities, and is so wholly unsatisfactory from a technical point of view that two special meetings have been convened by the Royal Photographic Society, held on January 7 and February 10, at which discussions have been held, and suggestions made, by leading authorities for a better system of estimating the speed and general characteristics of sensitive emulsions. A special committee has also been appointed to consider the suggestions resulting from these discussions, which are to be forwarded to an international gathering in Paris next June, where it is hoped that some new system may be generally agreed upon.
