Conference on Industrial Physics

Abstract

THE third Conference on Industrial Physics is being arranged by the Institute of Physics to take place in Leeds during March 23–25 under the presidency of Prof. R. Whiddington. The subject of the Conference is to be “Physics in the Textile Industries”. An exhibition of instruments, apparatus and books cognate to this subject is being arranged and will be held in the Physics Laboratories of the University of Leeds. A section of the Exhibition, intended to be of special interest to non-technical persons, will be devoted to popular applications of physics in the textile industries. Addresses will be given by the president of the Institute of Physics, Dr. C. C. Paterson, on “Colour and Colour Rendering” and by Dr. C. G. Darwin, director of the National Physical Laboratory, on “Heat Effects in Fibres and other Systems”. In addition, the following lectures, to be followed by discussions, have been arranged: “The Physics of Humidity” by Prof. R. Whiddington; “Industrial Humidity Control and Measurement” by Dr. Ezer Griffiths; “The Contribution of Physics to the Development of Industrial Process Control” by Dr. M. C. Marsh; and “Automatic Regulators for the Textile Industries” by Mr. D. Harrison. Visits to local works and research laboratories will be included in the programme, and a Conference dinner is being arranged. There will be no Conference fee, and membership is open to all interested. Further particulars can be obtained from the Secretary, Institute of Physics, 1 Lowther Gardens, Exhibition Road, London, S.W.7.
