Extracts From “The Bibliography of Scientific and Industrial Reports”

Abstract

During the war a great deal of research was carried out under the auspices of the Allied Governments. It has been decided to release for general use a large proportion of the results of this research, together with information taken from former enemy countries at a form, of reparations. With this end in view, the U.S. Department of Commerce, through its Publication Board, is making a weekly issue of ABSTRACTS of reports in the form of a ‘Bibliography of Scientific and Industrial Reports.’ This Bibliography is now being received in Australia, and relevant extracts are reproduced here‐under. Copies of the original reports may be obtained in two ways “(a) Microfilm or photostat copies may be purchased from the United States through C.S.I.R. Information Service.
