Abstract
ALL international exhibitions have contributed in some measure to the advancement of science. The assembling before the public of a great array of machinery has from time to time acted as a stimulus to inventions in which science was applied to promote safety, comfort, or luxury. The competition between manufacturers of scientific apparatus, encouraged by medals and other awards of excellence, doubtless resulted in improved workmanship and better design in the tools which the scientific investigator or teacher has to employ. The sporadic display of original or merely antique instruments (e.g. clocks) did little more than hint at an evolution of scientific knowledge, and fell far short of exhibiting in any adequately organised manner the actual progress of such evolution, full as it was-and is-alike of human and philosophical interest.
