Seavom catalogue The French company, Seavom, have recently published a complete new catalogue in German which gives, in a very handy form, all the technical information on their complete range of products with special emphasis on laboratory coating plant, stainless steel diffusion pumps and several components such as valves, current and rotary feed-throughs. The catalogues may be. obtained through Klaus Schaefer Gesellschaft fiir Verfahrenstechnik mbH, Postfach 129, 6 FrankfurtNiederrad, Germany. Latest environmental chambers shown in new Webber brochure Ninety-one models of environmental chambers for research, testing, production and medical applications are shown in the new 44page Brochure 6600 just published by Webber Manufacturing Company Incorporated. The units provide variable temperatures within the overall range of -225” to +1000”F and simulate various conditions of altitude and humidity. Capacities vary upward from 1 ft3. In addition, the brochure reviews nine environmental applications; presents temperature and altitude conversion charts, relative humidity chart and data on specific heat of various substances, metal shrinkage, low-temperature refrigerants and convection fluids. Featured are diagrams of the exclusive Webber cascade system, and the firm’s six patented features, plus full-colour illustrations of atmosphere and high-altitude charts.

Presidential Address Sir Gordon Sutherland in his Presidential Address to The Institute of Physics and The Physical Society on Tuesday, 3 May 1966 spoke on “The organization and financing of research both nationally and internationally”. The theme of his address was that the accelerated pace in the development of science which had taken place in the past 20 years had led all countries into a situation where their governments must attempt to plan its future growth. If the current rate of increase were to continue for even the next 10 years, fears had been expressed that gowmment expenditure on civil research in Britain would be consuming a disproportionate and, indeed, an uneconomic fraction of our national resources. Was it possible to lay down criteria by which the growth of expenditure on civil research can be planned in a logical and scientific way? Was it possible to establish an over-all national budget for science, e.g. as a fraction of the gross national product? If so, could one then say how much of this expenditure should be paid for directly by private industry and how much should come from government sources? How could the government share best be apportioned, (a) among the various sciences, (b) between universities, national laboratories and private industry, (c) between science and technology? Was the present government organization and machinery for dealing with these problems satisfactory? Britain, being nowadays a medium-sized power (economically), must carry out part of the science programme in co-operation with other countries. How was international co-operation in science best achieved, through CERN-like organizations, through UNESCO, through ICSU or by means of bi-lateral agreements? The full Address is being published in the Institute and Society’s Bulletin. 447
