Abstract
THE seventeenth annual exhibition of the Physical and Optical Societies was held on Jan. 4, 5, and 6 at the Imperial College of Science, London, and covered a wide range of electrical, optical, and other physical apparatus. This exhibition has rightly come to be regarded as an opportune occasion for the various manufacturing firms to bring to notice their latest improvements, and this year's exhibition reflects great credit on the ingenuity and originality in design and excellence of workmanship of the apparatus shown. There is an atmosphere of courtesy and entertaining informality in these annual events which cannot fail to enhance the interest of the visitors and evoke their admiration. Prof. A. O. Rankine, as secretary, is to be heartily congratulated on his success. Seventy-four firms exhibited apparatus, and it is regretted that the limited space available in this journal does not permit mention of all the instruments. Reference may be made to the illustrated catalogue of the exhibition for fuller details, and some exhibits embodying new features are noted below.
