Abstract
THE Science Museumthe National Museum of Science and Industry at South Kensingtonhas made for itself an enviable reputation by the special temporary exhibitions held in the past few years to illustrate the progress which has been made in various branches of science and technical industry. The most recent exhibition, which comes to an end on August 31, shows the public the principles and applications of refrigeration. In the original scheme, it was intended to include a few exhibits to show the progress which has been made in very low temperature work from the days when Faraday demonstrated that certain gases could be liquefied. It was soon realised, however, that the subject was too big and too important to be included merely as a branch of the present exhibition, and it was decided to devote to it an independent exhibition. As the result of a meeting arranged by Col. E. E. B. Mackintosh, director of the Science. Museum, of scientific workers, industrialists and representatives of Government institutions interested, to consider the proposal, a small committee has been appointed to decide upon suitable exhibits. The exhibition will commence in March 1935 and will be on view for two months. The arrangements will be in charge of Mr. T. C. Crawhall, the officer of the Museum who was responsible for arranging the present refrigeration exhibition.
