Absorption Spectrophotometry

MESSRS. Adam Hilger, Ltd., 98 King's Road, London, N.W.I, have issued a bound book of eighty pages dealing with the theory and practice of absorption spectroscopy (price 5s. net, postage 3d.). It contains a brief theoretical introduction, then thirty-two pages of description of Hilger apparatus and description of technique, including work in the ultraviolet, visible, and infra-red regions, with a note on photoelectric methods, and the rest of the book deals with applications, particular attention being directed to biological aspects and analysis. This contains references to original literature. A companion volume, entitled “Recent Applications of Absorption Spectroscopy” (price, bound, 3s. 6d., postage 2d.), published by Messrs. Hilger, provides a very complete and carefully classified account of the literature from 1922 to 1931, with useful notes. The two publications form a handy yet compendious guide to the practice and literature of Spectrophotometry in all parts of the optical spectrum, and may be recommended to all interested in this branch of science.

Electric Lighting 1

II. THE second district of the City which has been illuminated by electricity is that embracing Black-friars Bridge, upon which there are seven lamps. Bridge Street, in which there are four lamps, Ludgate Circus taking three lamps; Ludgate Hill four lamps; north side of St. Paul's six lamps. and Cheapside, as far as King Street, eight lamps. thirty-two lamps in all, replacing 150 gas lamps; and moreover, all these lamps are fixed upon one circuit, which is operated practically by only one machine, and that fixed more than a mile away, at the manufactory of the Brush Company in York Road, Lambeth. The total length of this circuit is over 20,000 feet. It consists of a copper cable made up of seven best copper wires surrounded with a thick layer of gutta-percha protected externally with tape that has been well tarred. This wire gives a total resistance of 7.5 ohms., and is protected by iron pipes like the Siemens method, and laid on the principle so well known in telegraphy. The dynamo-machine is of the familiar Brush form, and at present there are two machines of the size known as No. 7 cabled up in series, but forming practically only one machine. These two machines are intended to be replaced by one dynamo-machine, which, at a velocity of 800 revolutions, and worked by 32 indicated horse-power, will maintain forty lamps burning. The main feature of the Brush system is its simplicity, one machine working a number of lights, and those who visit the engine-room of Messrs. Siemens, and then that of the Brush Company, cannot help being struck by the immense difference in the contrast between the two. In Siemens' engine-room one feels in the midst of a whirling cotton manufactory. at the Brush works one sees nothing but a single engine working a single machine quietly and without fuss or flurry.
