Abstract
THE many problems which have been encountered by those responsible for blacking-out factories in the present emergency were discussed in some detail at a meeting of the Chemical Engineering Group of the Society of Chemical Industry which was held in the rooms of the Chemical Society, Burlington House, London, on December 8. Mr. H. W. Cremer presided and opened the discussion, during which it was manifested that the actual blacking-out in itself did not produce the only difficulty. It has been found that there are psychological and physiological effects on the workers, to say nothing of difficulties which have been introduced in the matter of ventilation. As regards the latter, the need for blacking-out factories has rather revealed that there is yet a great deal to be learned concerning the ventilation of factories in normal times, and the suggestion that this problem should be gone into more thoroughly is likely to be taken up by the Committee of the Group.
