TitleList of scientists and equipment, in response to the Safeguarding of Industries Act 1921
Date[March 1923]
DescriptionLists scientific individuals, many of them FRS, their institution's address (mainly universities), and objects that they are using, such as scientific glassware, synthetic chemicals, and other laboratory equipment.

[This list is to investigate the outcome of the Safeguarding of Industries Act 1921, where a five-year duty of 33.3% was put on nine categories of items (including optical glass, laboratory porcelain, hosiery latch needles, metallic tungsten, synthetic chemicals) that were perceived as being essential to British success in world war one. The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research wishes to know what the effect on science has been, and how these scientists have found the outcome of the Act.]
