Britain Builds Light Cars- the British Automobile Industry, UK, 1945 A scientist in the research department of a car factory somewhere in Britain operates apparatus known as a 'wear and lubricant testing machine'. According to the original caption: 'There are only three more like it in the world. It is used for investigating the merits of lubricants and for ascertaining the wear resisting properties of materials used in the construction of motor cars. The results can be graphically recorded to form valuable data for technical design'.

National Physical Laboratory- Science and Technology in Wartime, Teddington, Middlesex, England, UK, 1944 A general view of the radiation section in the Light Division of the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington. In the foreground, a female scientist works at a piece of apparatus used to test the absorbing properties of materials regarding infra-red and ultra-violet. This is particular important with regard to the development of sunglasses and welding goggles, as the glass used in these items must be able to absorb infra-red and ultra-violet radiation in order to protect the eyes of the wearer.

2000 Scientists Trained At "Atom School" -- Master - Laboratory experiments will receive major emphasis in the special radioisotope training course for foreign scientists, to be conducted by the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies this Spring.A special radioisotope training program for foreign scientists will be conducted during May by the Institute of Nuclear Studies at the Oak Ridge atomic plant in Tennessee. It is one of several projects of the United States Atomic Energy Commission to aid the International "atoms for peace" program. June 29, 1955.

$National Physical Laboratory- Science and Technology in Wartime, Teddington, Middlesex, England, UK, 1944 A scientist in the Optics Section of the Light Division at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington uses special apparatus to measure the refraction effect of shades fitted to a sextant or other such optical instrument. The original caption states that 'it is made to ensure that tinted glasses do not interfere with the correct angular measurement when the sextant is in use'.$

A researcher at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory studies the fuel ignition process. Improved fuels and lubrication was an area of particular emphasis at the laboratory during World War II. The military sought to use existing types of piston engines in order to get large numbers of aircraft into the air as quickly as possible. To accomplish its goals, however, the military needed to increase the performance of these engines without having to wait for new models or extensive redesigns. The Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory was called on to lead this effort. The use of superchargers successfully enhanced engine performance, but the resulting heat increased engine knock fuel detonation and structural wear. These effects could be offset with improved cooling, lubrication, and fuel mixtures. The NACA researchers in the Fuels and Lubrication Division concentrated on new synthetic fuels, higher octane fuels, and fuel-injection syste

With This Instrument Scientists Believe They Are Entering A New World -- This is a radiation healer at work...........For 15 years an eminent Harley Street doctor has been experimentation with "Radiations".He discovered that water diviners could detect impulses not only from water beneath the ground but from people as well - in the form of a tiny electric shock.Training himself to detect them with his hand, he discovered that they could be felt only at certain "Critical" distances from the body.

Broadcasting In The Gold Coast -- Two of the senior African Technical Staff in the Balance and Control Room where outputs of Studio, land lines, radio links and record turntables are mixed. From this room two separate programme channels are available to any of two transmitters, a land line or the Recording room.The Gold Coast is justly proud in possessing one of the finest Broadcasting Services in the Colonies.It was introduced by the Gold Coast Government in 1935, in the form of a Rediffusion Service, the primary object being to make available to the public, for a nominal monthly subscription, (5/-a months, which includes installation and use of loudspeaker) an amenity otherwise prohibited to most by the high initial cost of Radio receivers, and by the technical skill needed to operate them.
