Abstract
THE Council of the Institute of Patentees has decided to suspend the award of the Institute Bronze Medal and in place thereof to substitute the Institute's Silver Medal to rank equally with the Founder's Silver Medal. These medals, will be awarded in each section of the Exhibition of Inventions to be opened in the Central Hall, Westminster, S.W.I on September 30 and in Newcastle on November 25; therefore ten silver medals will be awarded throughout the five sub-sections of the New Inventions Section of the Exhibition. The Gold, Silver and Bronze Certificates will be awarded as in previous years. As the Institute proposes to organize a series of exhibitions throughout the country, it has been decided that the Grey-Wilson Memorial Gold Medal, supported by cash prize, together with the Yorkshire Medal, will be competed for during January of each year, the successful exhibitors at any Exhibition organized by the Institute being eligible to compete. The Yorkshire Medal is a new medal which was provided for under the will of the late Mr. Hoffman-Wood, an architect of Addingham, Yorkshire, who died three years ago, and the Institute will make recommendations annually to the trustees regarding its award. The medal is valued at twenty-five guineas, and sufficient funds are available for an award in perpetuity. The award of the Yorkshire Medal must be for an inven tion not relating to warfare.
