c Annual Report of the Delegacy Engineers Tribology Convention at Pitlochry and Dr Williams and Dr Tindal attended symposium organised by the Thermo- dynamics and Fluids Mechanics Group of the Institution of Mechani- cal Engineers at Bristol Dr Williams delivered two lectures on Pulsating Flow Measurement at the University of Surrey and Professor Η Rose and Dr Duck- worth presented paper at joint meeting in Brighton of the Institu- tion of Chemical Engineers and the Verein Deutschen Ingenieure Mr Gosney presented paper to the twelfth international congress of Refrigeration in Madrid and also paper at symposium in Grimsby organised by the Process Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engin- eers Additionally at the invitation of the Royal Society of Arts he delivered three Cantor lectures on 'Modern refrigeration' Mr Prosser gave lecture on Vibration ploughing' to the staff and students of the Essex Institute of Agriculture Dr Powell was co-opted to membership of the British Standards Sub-Committee on Injector Jets In connection with studies regarding the subject of Industrial Admini- stration he made visits to the Universities of Aston Birmingham and Leeds Undergraduate teaching of electrical engineering was strengthened by certain modifications to the detailed structure of the course In particular these changes provide for an earlier introduction to com- munication and control theory and to the physical principles of elec- tronics This enables more satisfactory treatment of quantum electronics to be given in lecture course backed by experimental work in the laboratory for which appropriate specialist equipment is being obtained Research and postgraduate study in the department remain substanti- ally within the fields of electronics telecommunications electrical measurements and electrical machines One project related to auto- marie control in which non-linearity was employed to achieve particular phase characteristic was completed An extensive series of calculations and of confirmatory measurements of the effective resistance and inductance of transmission lines having certain conductor configurations was also concluded and experimental work on current 'chopping' in small air-blast breaker is approaching completion Work continues on project sponsored by industry which aims to correlate the mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of steel with
