Abstract
THE twentieth annual general meeting of this Association was held on February 14, when the annual report was presented. In a foreword written by the chairman of the council, Mr. C. W. Marshall, of the Central Electricity Board, many interesting remarks about research are made. He points out that research is rarely spectacular to the layman; but owing to the steadily increasing importance to the industry of the activities of the E.R.A., it is now widely appreciated. Mr. Marshall said he has followed the development of the Association from its inception, especially in its relation to electricity supply. Three classes of investigation pursued in the Association's laboratories and elsewhere have been of special interest to him because of their vital importance to the electrical welfare of Great Britain: these are the investigations into circuit-making and breaking, surge phenomena, and properties of insulation.
