British Chemical Glass

PROF. W. E. S. TURNER, of the Department of Glass Technology in the University of Sheffield, in a letter to the Times of February 15, stated that ``this industry ... owes its inception to Sir Herbert Jackson and the hearty co-operation of several glass manufacturers in 1914 and 1915.'' I am sure that Sir Herbert Jackson would regret that the sole credit should be given to him and no mention made of Prof. Meldola, the chairman under whom he worked, and I trust, therefore, that NATURE will be able to find space to correct a statement so deficient as that made in the Times.
