Abstract
If one judges by attendance and enthusiasm, many physicists look forward to the apparatus competitions held under the auspices of the Committee on Apparatus for Educational Institutions of the American Association of Physics Teachers every two years as a part of the joint meeting of the AAPT and APS in New York. Fifty‐four pieces of new and improved apparatus for undergraduate college physics were exhibited at the Hotel New Yorker this year from February 1 to February 4. Supported by a grant from the Central Scientific Company, the competition was intended primarily to inspire and give recognition to inventive ingenuity in the development of new laboratory and demonstration equipment for physics teaching. With public recognition went certificates and three cash prizes of $500, $200, and $100 in each of two categories: equipment used in demonstration lectures in undergraduate college physics and equipment used in undergraduate physics laboratories. A number of honorable mention awards were also made.
