THE Faraday. Centenary Exhibition, which opens today, has been organized to give some idea of what wo o.vo to Faraday's scientific discoveries, in particular that of the principle of electro-magnetic induction, in August, 1831. Leading scientific and industrial bodies are collaborating to show some of the vast range of modern machinery depending on that principle for its existence. The variety and importance of such machinery can bo judged from the fact that the exhibits include a model of a power generating station, demonstrations of ' speech scrambling,' electric furnaces and the manufacture of electric lamps, and illustrations of applications of electricity to the modern home and to means of transport. Of particular interest to listeners are a complete high-power regional transmitter, lent by the B.B.C., and examples of the earliest radio apparatus.
