Science and industry: the Place of Cambridge in Any Scheme

for their Combination. By Sir R. T. Glazebrook. (Cambridge University Press. Is. ed. net.)—This year's Redo Lecture by the Director of the National Physical Laboratory throws light on the part played by science in this war, especially in connexion with aircraft, gunnery, and the health of the troops. There is, too, an interesting discussion of the value of a laboratory of industrial research, such as we have at Teddington, as an intermediary between the man of science in his laboratory and the works chemist who has to make practical use of any new discoveries that seem promising.
