SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. 
improvement in processes, or a cheapening in the cost of manufacturé, but funda- 
mental development in the whole subject in which the manufacturing firm is 
interested. For this purpose it is clear that something very different from the 
usual works laboratory will be required, and that in order to obtain progress 
the work of the research laboratory must be directed primarily toward the 
fundamental theory of the subject. Dr. Mees draws attention to the fact that in 
every case where the effect of research work has been very marked, that work has 
been directed, not toward the superficial processes of industry, hut toward the 
fundamental and underlying theory of the subject. He gives a number of illus- 
trations in support of this statement. at 
Special chapters of the book are devoted to a consideration of the Internal, 
Organization of Industrial Research Laboratories, Staff, Building, and Equip- 
ment, and the Direction of the Work. Useful information is also given to the 
question of the Design of a Research Laboratory for a Specific Industry. The 
book may be commended to those who are interested in the question of industrial 
research in Australia, and especially to those who are in control of large indus- 
trial undertakings. . 
ELECTRICITY 
does More work with Less labour 
No steam to wait for, no pipe lines to leak, 
no long lines of overhead’ shafting—only 
useful power for every penny expended for 
current—this is what you gain with G.E. 
Motor Drive in your factory. 
No power is wasted, and breakdowns are rare 
in the electrically operated shop or factory. © 
Let our engineer show you where you can 
save money and increase production with 
electric motors. 4
