Abstract
THE favourable reception that attended the publication of the first volume of “Farm and Machine” issued by the Institute for Research in Agricultural Engineering, Oxford, last year, has led to the decision that an annual issue would be justified. Vol. 2, which has recently appeared (2s. 6dL), con tains like its predecessor the report of the Institute for the year under review and also a collection of miscellaneous papers on agricultural engineering. The chief event of the year has been the removal of the Institute into its new quarters in Parks Road, a building well suited for the indoor work and pro vided with excellent workshop and stores accommoda tion. The testing of various new types of agricultural machinery naturally takes a prominent place in the work of the Institute, but research on the theoretical side is also carried out, from which important advances have already been made. The titles of some of the miscellaneous articles such as market garden tractors, farm electricity tariffs, the mode of action of mole drains, sugar beet harvesting, implements for regenerating grassland need only be quoted to show that the volume is likely to be of help and interest to a wide section of the farming community.
