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.

Some of my recollections relate to the Aerodynamics Division at the NPL and the ARC, so to refresh my memory of their origin I have referred to the First Report of the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics—later renamed Aeronautical Research Committee—for the year 1909–10. It states there that this Committee was appointed on 30th April 1909, that it was to deal with the scientific study of the problems of flight with a view to their practical solution, and that the NPL was to organise, at Teddington, a special department to research and experiment on problems submitted to it; and further, that the Committee had put themselves in communication with the Aeronautical Society, the Royal Aero Club and the Aerial League with a view to rendering such assistance as might be possible in their work, that arrangements had been made at the Imperial College of Science and Technology for lectures in aeronautics for advanced students, and that two research scholarships in aeronautics had been founded.
