Mr. R. A. WATSON WATT: Some
Special Rooms '
THE ' PUBLIC MEMORY ' of the weather, the collection, examination, and custody of records of weather happenings, is* entrusted in this country to the Meteorological Office, Air Ministry. Long before Geneva became a universal resort, this and corresponding offices in other countries had formed their own meteorological League of Nations, for the rapid interchange of weather information and for the advance of weather knowledge by international co-operation.
Something about all this ; the method of interchange of data, by telegraph, telephone, and wireless, its utilisation in the drawing of synoptic charts of the weather of the moment, and the rapid dissemination of the conclusions drawn from these charts, provide the subject matter of Mr. Watson Watt 's last talk in this series.
Next Wednesday, at this time, will be broadcast the first of six talks on Light, by Sir William Bragg.
