Even more im- portant is the fact that in Canada, the Departments of National Do. fence, of Munitions and Supply, of Transport and the numerous rech- nical missions in im- DOmIKlIOal, use the National Research Council rrnch as large industries use their oifill- ated research and engineering insti- tutions. Facilities in the Council's laboratories have been expanded as required to cape with. the growing volume of work as the war has pro- grassed.

Existing fu- lclilties having been found inade- Iquate for present requirements, new laboratories are being construct/ed just outside Ottawa. Larger wind tunnels, both horizontal and verti- cal, are being built, and more ade- quate facilities for the study of ship and float design are being provided in a new model-testing basin. Among the more important tests in the wind tunnel may be cited work to determine the effect on longitudinal and directional flight ztasility of adding floats to the Landplane. Tests have been contin- ued on a. one-tenth scale model of tunnel to be used in the spin-testing of air- craft models. The hydraulic struc- tures laboratory was completed during the year. Besides making tests on a num- ber of oil-burning and gasoline- burning appliances, the fire hazard testing laboratory aided in the pre- paration of safety codes, tested two experimental models of forest fire pump, issued a report on hose for forest fire service and did some work for the Royal Canadian Air Force. Tests of aviation gasoline, lubri- cating oil and other petroleum pro-. iducts for the Department of Nat- ional Defence, have increased by a- bout 250 per cent as a result of the war, and similar tests for manu- facturers have also increased pro-- portionally. Fuel tests have also been made in connection with an investigation of corrosion resistant coatings for use in aviation fuel drums. through the cutting off of normal cations have been prepared for summer uniforms for the Navy, Ar- my and Air Force. In some cases in THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN da’s War Effort is being carried on in co-operation with similar laboratories and com- mittees in England. on defensive chemical vvarfare methods. Gas mask materials have been thorough- ly studied and protective measures of other kinds for use against pos- sible methods of warfare have not been neglected. The Division of Chemistry is working almost ex- cluslvely in a co-operative way with departments of Government on the testing of supplies and the pre- paration of specifications. 'I‘extlles, leather, colloids, paints, laundering, metal spraying and bonding of rubber to metal are a- mong the subjectson which test- lng techniques have been worked out and advice given on specifications so that the purchasing of supplies may be put on a sound scientific basis. Research has been continued on the production of metallic mag- nesium, the lightest structural met- al. Because of the war this work has taken on new significance, mag- nesium being an important metal in aircraft construction. Canadian raw materials have been found well suited to the production of this metal. At the outbreak oi’ the war of 1914-18 a serious situation arose supplies of material for lining steel- making furnaces. That such a sit- uvion has not arisen at the pres- ent time is due largely to Canadian research and commercial develop- ments. as a result of which Canada is in a position to supply a major part of the lilmpire’: requirements of these essential materials for the metallurgical industry. In the textile laboratory specifi- a number of materials such as tar- paulins, camouflage nets, linings for bullet-proof helmets. cotton which specifications were originally based on British requirements, if. has been necessary to work out modifications to conform to Can- adian textile practice. Owing to the effect of the war in reducing the availability of certain textile raw materials such as linen. the textile laboratory has investi- gated the extent to which cotton or ober types of fibres could be sub- stituted for linen as for example in die case of parachute harness web- ng. A surprising variety of finishes is required as preservative coatings for use on aircraft, military ve- hicles and other war equipment The paint research laboratory is co- operating with Government auth- orities and with manufacturers to facilitate the supply of these highly specialized coatings. PLASTICS IMPORTANT The rubber laboratory has cem- tinued its investigation on the bond- ing of rubber to metal which has been widened to include the bond- ing of latex and synethetic rubber A study has been made of the pro- pertles of acetylene black in rubber. It has been found that rubber com- pounded with this black is electric- ally conducting and its thermal coii- ductivity is also greatly increased. The work of the plastics labora- tory has consisted largely of (a) minor investigations and test work on a variety of plastics used in war work, undertaken at the request of the Department of National Defence and of the British Air Ministry and Admiralty; (b) a major investiga- tion deallng with the use of various plastics and synthetic resins in sir- densation it has become standard practice to include some material as a vapour barrier on the inside of the wall. Extensive experiments nave been carried out to determine carriers and the results have been published. Considerable work has been done on a by-pass method of control on the heat supply in rail- way refrigerator cars. Arrangements are being made for practical tests of this system during the present year. In (‘D-ODQIBIIOI! with the Depart- ment of Agriculture and the Divis- ion of Biology and Aglculturc about two thousand determinations of mi- nor elements in plant and anima‘. material have been made by ape:- troscoplc methods. In the sound laboratory work has been done to find the best acoustical matcnal to be used in the intake and exhaust stacks of a new aeroplane-engine- test laboratory. War work includes studies on the cause of flutter in gas mask valves, investigations of special telephone receivers for na- val use imd other new devices. Extensive investigations of X-ray methods of inspection of castings, forglngs, welds and other war mat- erials have been continued and in- spection methods and technique suitable for Canadian requirements have been developed. These meth- ods have been adopted in the larg- er foundries. some of which have recently installed X-ray equip- ment of their own. When ft was foreseen that there might be a grave shortage of mili- tary optical equipment a small op- tical shop was established to ex- periment with various methods of producing precise optical devices and to produce a certain llnziieo number of precise optical parts for the repair of standard instruments and for the deyelopment of new equipment. The National Research Council shop can now produce any kind of precise optical part. A vast amount of intricate and detailed planning of heavy elect-ri- cal machinery down to the smallest moderndevice is being carried on by the electrical engineering staff for the new Annex laboratories on the Montreal Road. In addition im- portant electrical work relating to war problems is under way. Finally a word must be said a- bout gauges. The measurement of gauges is a normal activity of the metrolozy section, although prev- ious to the war only small num- bers of gauges had been received annually for test. At the outbreak of the war representatives of the National Research Council, the Ontario Research Foundation and the Dominion Arsenal conferred with representatives of the ‘British Purchasing Mission on the subject of munitions gauges. The Council sent a metrologist to England to study the latest methods of testing munitions gauges. A gauge labora- tory was gradually staffed and ey- "iplied at Ottawa and equipment was supplied to a similar labora- tory set up by the Ontario Research Foundation at Toronto. By October i940 the gauge lab- oratory was passing gauges as rap- idly as they were received and provision had been made for fur- ther increases in capacity. Import. int sauce parts are becoming iri- creasingly difficult to obtain but Canadian manufacturers have shown an aptitude for the produc- tion of fine precision parts that bids fair to render Canada inde- Dendent of outside supplies. ‘The National Research Council is making a substantial contribution a. method of testing these vapour , ; I ONE and deposited in the I When you are paying a bill at the office. . .have your name and address deposited in the office Birthday Gift Box.

The closest co-operation exists between medical research officers and the Flying Personnel Research Commit- tce of Great Britain and valuable work is being done. ' Another committee, headed by Sir Frederick Banting and including representatives of the medical or- ganizations and medical schools throughout Canada. is working in close co-operation with the British Medical Research Council. Special problems have been assigned to Canadian scientists and the result ‘of their work is being mtide avail- able to the Empires Armed Forces. Great progress is being made in tlic reduction cf infection of war wounds which took such a heavy toll in tlte last war. Wetting of the troops presents _a ‘most important problem. The Divi- tslon of Biology and Agriculture co- operated in the preparation of the new ration schedule for the troops in Canada which has met with such general approval. The facilities of the food storage laboratories have also been used for studies on the istorage of blood to meet the pos- ‘sible need for transfusion in the treatment of casualties. i Studies on the improvement and standardization of the food value iof canned products are under way. New ways of slacking stored pro- ducts and impm ved methods of forcing air through storage room stacks have been developed. Ad- aptatlon of these results to coni- mercial practice will increase the storage life and improve the qual- ity of many perishable products.
