Abstract :
Electronic technique, i.e. the employment of electron tubes and other electronic devices in amplifying and in measuring circuits has, during the last decade or so, pervaded a number of fields which are somewhat remote from that realm of communications in which these techniques first arose. One of these newer fields of application which is probably less familiar to Radio Engineers is the use of electronic instruments in chemical laboratories, where such apparatus leads not only to greater accuracy and greater speed, but also to considerable savings in time and manpower employed. While the present short survey cannot lay claim to any exhaustive treatment of so vast a subject, the attempt will be made to present to Radio Engineers some of the most commonly used electronic instruments which find a wider application in chemical laboratories.
