X-Rays Help Science To Investigate
Investigations in progress ot the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge England, are using, X-rays to help solve one of science's major problems today. namely the structure of pro- teins.

Proteins, an .essential com- ponent of living matter, though Built up from the atoms of, ut most, seven elements, thally form a complex defying complete analysin by ordinary chemical or physical methods, The leader -
Briti of thin new attack on the problem is. Sir Lawrence Bragg, who several years ago, with his father, the 1 Sir William Bras, won a Nobel Prize. for developing X-ray methods to determine the arrange ment of atomm in a simple, molecule. This so-called "urrection" techn ique later proved most useful.in deterinining the

Jet Fighter Climbs Some
For many years artificial board ("made lumber") a waste material such as sawdust, bond. ed with resin, has been used all over the world increasingly. In vast quantities for all sorts of building and Industrial purposes,One of the severa handicaps in production has bean the expense of heavy presies and the fact that it could only be pleated out within certain sizes. Photo shows the continuous length of, hard board” being cut info lengths after passing under pressure, with the temperature, cesated, by radio waves, being maintained by infra-red waves. Bix of these new plants, forming a amali production, unit, can with very little supervision pro- duce during 24 hours about 13 miles of board, which can be finished with paint or distemper. printed designs, wood veneers, sheet metal, laminates, resins er-fabrics.
Britain's Industrial
Seven Miles Production On Parade
The experimental Beryl-Meteor
twin-jet fighter has climbed to a height of oven-and-a-half miles. In soven-and-a-half minutes, In the Arst minute it climbed two miles. in a minute-and-a-half it was nearly three miles high, and in thren minutes it had climbed five miles.

Britain has long been the world's greatest customer. She has led the way in
the export of manufactured products.
By
initiative in modern research, and with experience of commerce with other notions, her industrial production has become greater and more varied than ever in history.
Renowned for the quality of her work, Britain has applied new technique to her famous industries.

NO, I METALLIC LIQUID
This Liquid is a rapid hardener and at the same time produces a waterproof, hardwearing and dustless concrete. These properties were utilised to the full in the construction of herodromes and Govertiment factorles during the war. The use of Lillington's No. 1 Metallle Liquid enabled Service vehicles to carry supplies over the previous day's concreting, thus speeding the job considerably.

Rigidal is strong and it will retain its strength in- definitely, since its inherent resistance to attack by the atmosphere does not de pend on any coating of another metal or other pro- tective.
During erection it is not easily. subject to damage and it is not brittle, thus workmen can walk safely over roof areas.
The importance of sound roofing is emphosled the incidence of industrial, accidents arising through workmen falling through apparently safe roofing. arcas while engaged on

For industrial buildings where a certain amount of roof traffic, such as inspet tion parties, may be expected, a minimum sheet thickness of 20in SWO mended. Fat, other buildings where roof loadingkkare less severe, thinner sheets, and/or increased púrlin spacinga may be used according to conditions.
