Work of the Imperial Institute

Abstract

DR. COLLINGE'S account, published in NATURE of October 19, p. 526, of the work of the Philadelphia Museum shows that it follows lines closely analogous to those adopted by the Imperial Institute in the display of raw materials (in our case, of the British Empire) and the ‘story’ of their transformation to finished goods. The Institute is also a bureau of technical information based not only on investigations carried out in our own laboratories but also on information available from technical and trade journals in all languages.
