Proceedings of the Optical Convention, 1926

Abstract

THE exhibition of instruments associated with the Optical Convention having been described in our issue of April 24, while the very entertaining optical illusions arranged by Sir Richard Paget and Dr. R. S. Clay were fully noticed in the lay press, the present article will be devoted to a brief review of some of the papers read during the daily sessions, which occupied two lecture-theatres at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, South Kensington, throughout the week of the Convention. As there were nearly a hundred papers in all, it is impossible to refer here to more than a few of them, but it is understood that the Proceedings of the Convention, containing the complete text, will be published in time to be available at the Oxford meeting of the British Association.
