The experimental work here described was carried out on behalf of the Oxygen Research Committee and the Mine Rescue Apparatus Research Committee of the Scientific and Industrial Research Department. The main object of the experiments was to investigate the possibility of obtaining a non-inflammable substitute for the activated charcoal used in metal vacuum flasks intended for holding liquid air. The work was eventually extended so as to include an examination into some of the more theoretical aspects of gas adsorption. The special problems presented by the metal vacuum vessel made it necessary to pay particular attention to the adsorption of nitrogen at liquid air temperature. Many measurements have also been made using hydrogen.

National Effort

After the publication of the First Report in December 1938,† work was continued on alloyed cast irons in accordance with the Committee's programme. This work was in active progress when the outbreak of war directed the attention of the Committee to those matters within its province which would most assist the national effort. Chief among these was the necessity for making the fullest use of the national resources in phosphoric ores, and hence it was decided to provide engineers with a report on phosphoric irons. The present report is wholly concerned with engineering phosphoric grey cast irons, free from alloying elements, used in the as-cast condition and manufactured in the ordinary way. A further report will be made on alloyed phosphoric high-duty irons.
