Inaugural Meeting of the British Joint Corrosion Group 11 March, 1965

AbstractI would like to say how much I appreciate the honour of an invitation to open the proceedings on this auspicious occasion. I welcome also the chance to speak of a matter at present disturbing me—namely the fact that in the past much work on Corrosion, possessing potential interest or utility, has failed to reach those whom it would interest or help. This is a matter important to the Group since, unless the proper steps are taken, the work being performed in the laboratory today for publication tomorrow will equally be lost to those whom it ought to benefit.
