solved. The realization that there is a vast amount of 

 information which may be used, and the experience that 

 when such information is made available solutions are 

 developed, inevitably stimulates an optimism about the 

 possibility of mastering industrial problems and over- 

 coming obstacles generally. 



It is believed that in the above presentation it has 

 been showTi that the quotation used at the beginning is 

 not an overstatement. The broad basis in facts and 

 principles, in technology and instrumentation, on which 

 industry' is built is predommantly physics and it follows 

 that physical research in industry is one of our most 

 important and most valuable national resources.
