Abstract
THE report of the Forest Products Research Board for 1934 has been recently issued. With the report is the annual report of the director of forest products research, 1934. The Research Board met twice during the year. At its first meeting, the Board undertook a general revision of the programme of research of the Laboratory, the effect aimed at being to secure a greater elasticity in the working of the various projects. The second meeting held at the Laboratory enabled the members of the Board to visit the various sections, and to study the progress being made. Two important questions which have engaged the attention of the Board have been connected with, first, the provision of means of closer contact between the work of the Laboratory and timber-using industries and growers in the north of England and Scotland; and secondly, the development of research into problems connected with woodworking. The report states that full advantage has been taken of the facilities offered by the Laboratory for investigating the properties and working qualities of timbers from various oversea units of the Empire.
