THE NATURAL SCIENCE SOCIETY Chairman : Dr. WHITMORE.
Secretary : R. E. DODD.
The main feature of the activities of the Society last term was a series of colour-blindness tests on the whole School, which, owing to the numerous other Summer activities, required the whole of the term for completion. It was also intended that the Junior School should be tested, but time permitted the testing of only a few. The results of the tests were published and it was found that of the Senior School, 7 were red-green colour blind in varying degree, while 4 per cent. were complete green colour blind. A small scale exhibition was also held at the end of the term, the chief attraction being the lecture by F. F. Steele on the " Cathode Ray Oscillograph and Its Uses," which was the result of an idea in the Easter term and a fortnight of slaving after the examinations on circuits, both practical and diagrammatic. Among the many uses of the cathode ray oscillograph, e.g., in television and wireless testing work on mass production sets, those demonstrated in the lecture were voice and sound wave analysis and the wave form and phase relations of the mains alternating current supply. The very fascinating Lissajou's figures were also demonstrated. 20
