War-Time Progress in X-Ray Analysis

Abstract

THE third annual conference of the X-ray Analysis Group of the Institute of Physics was held during July 9–11 at the Royal Institution. It provided the first opportunity since the War for crystallographers of all establish contacts and to and ideas. The chairman, Sir I was able to welcome among about of the conference no less than seventy-Hreign visitors representing fifteen different countries. In his opening address, Sir Lawrence emphasized the inadequacy of a three-day conference for a full interchange of crystallographic news and views, and he felt that the visits to laboratories arranged for the foreign visitors during the following week, as well as the intervals between official sittings of the conference, should provide additional opportunities for personal discussions. In this spirit, too, the official dinner which took place at Frascati's on the night of July 10 was an outstanding success.
