Abstract
THE visit of H.M. The King to the British Industries Fair at Olympia and the White City on February 19 was the first public function which he attended since his accession to the throne. At Olympia he spent some time in the Scientific Instrument Section and inspected the principal exhibits, especially the epidiascopes, microscopes and binoculars. His Majesty expressed his appreciation of the fine display of instruments and of the general lay-out of the grouped stands, for the organisation of which the Scientific Instrument Manufacturers' Association of Great Britain was responsible. This year there were a greatly increased number of buyers from overseas, among whom representatives from Continental countries were predominant, and many of the leading scientific instrument firms report that, through the Fair, they have established valuable connexions in the markets of the Continent and elsewhere.
