Abstract
FIVE coolers, specially made to complete the equipment of the experimental refrigerated chambers at the Ditton Laboratory of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, were presented to the Laboratory on July 5. Three of the coolers were given by Mr. S. W. Mount, of Patricksbourne, Canterbury, on behalf of a number of British fruitgrowers who are owners of gas-stores; the other two by Lord Dudley Gordon on behalf of Messrs. J. and E. Hall, Ltd., refrigerating engineers of Dartford, by whom the coolers were designed and made. Sir Frank Smith, Secretary of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, in accepting the gift on behalf of the Department, said that it indicated the confidence of those concerned in the fruitgrowing industry in the work of the Department.
