Abstract
AT the Building Exhibition, Olympia, 1936, an exhibit was arranged to give the public an opportunity of seeing the nature, methods and results of the investigations of the Building Research Board being carried on at Watford, at Teddington and at Princes Risborough. The D.S.I.R. has issued a descriptive pamphlet, “Building Research Exhibit Olympia 1936” (Dept. of Scientific and Industrial Research, S.W.I), containing a short explanatory statement of the nature of the work being done in each section and briefly indicating the special features of the exhibit. One of these showed samples of lightweight aggregates with a chart of their physical properties and the methods of testing used. In another section their value for thermal insulation in building construction was demonstrated.
