Abstract
THIS comprehensive survey is written for the layman by two authors dubbing themselves as non-experts, but who had in its earlier days much Administrative experience in the then newly formed Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. With the aid of numerous experts they trace the growth on the technical side of the major sections of British industry and very briefly describe the efforts made by co-operative research to assist many of them.
