Abstract

ON March 25 and 26 a conversazione was held at the Research Laboratories of Kodak, Ltd., Harrow, to mark he twenty-first anniversary of their opening. The Laboratories were visited on March 25 by represenntatives of all fields of scientific interest, and on the following day by members of the six thousand factory and sales staff. The exhibits displayed the range of scientific endeavour of the Laboratories. A historical exhibit provided a reminder that the photographic industry has always been closely associated with scientific research, particularly since 1912 when Dr. C. E. K. Mees, now vice-president of the Eastman Kodak Company, left the old-established firm of Wratten and Wainwright to found and direct the research laboratories of the Eastman Kodak Company. The English branch of the organisation became an independent centre for research in 1928, when Dr. W. Clark set up the first Kodak, Ltd., Research Laboratory. Since 1931, Mr. E. R. Davies has been director of research.
