Abstract
A SURVEY of the work of the Illumination Research Committee of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research is given in a report issued recently by the Department. These investigations were also reviewed in a paper read by Mr. J. W. T. Walsh before the Illuminating Engineering Society on June 1. In the introduction to the Report the events leading to the formation of this committee are recalled, and attention is directed to. the demand for information on lighting matters that has arisen since the formation of the Illuminating Engineering Society in 1909. On the Illumination Research Committee the medical and architectural professions are represented, and there are several members who are experts on illumination and alsq members of the Illuminating Engineering Society, the various British Engineering Standards Association committees, and other bodies concerned in research on illumination. Co-ordination of effort is thus facilitated and overlapping of work avoided.
