Colourings for stucco. The Report contains a review of the work of the Building Research Station since its establishment. “In this short period,” the Board state, ““the Station has become a real factor in the building industry. Of this, the increase in the number of inquiries recetved annually is significant. The explanation of this rapid success is to be found, on the one hand, in the goodwill of the industry and, on the other hand, in the wide range of researches covered and in the readiness of the Station to co-operate with industry, especi- ally in making available for application to everyday prob- lems its accumulated knowledge and experience.” Price 4s. net.
