Abstract
THE first Electronics Symposium of the Scientific Instrument Manufacturers' Association was held in the Caxton Hall, Westminster, during November 18–19. Mr. A. C. D. West, chairman of the Electronics Group of the Association, presided at the first session and the proceedings were opened by Sir Edward Appleton who expressed his belief in the great existing and potential importance of electronic techniques in industrial processes. He gave instances in which the introduction of such devices had secured savings of time and money out of all proportion to their cost. The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research had set up a small organisation to explore the field of potential application in industry and to advise on the design and supply of electronic equipments appropriate to the various particular problems they encountered.
