January, 1976 CONFERENCES AND MEETINGS 31 some experience in instrumentation but wishing to broaden their knowledge and contractors, managers and others indirectly concerned with instruments. For people such as instrument engineers, designers, laboratory workers and process supervisors, the school will provide a valuable opportunity to gain a broad practical know- ledge of process analysis and its applications.It will be attractive to people working as instrument manufacturers and contractors and to those employed in user industries, such as the chemical, petrochemical, metal manufacturing, power generation and food processing in- dustries. All lecturers have been carefully selected on the basis of their experience in the field and their lecturing ability. In addition to the formal lectures there will be oppor- tunities for discussion and “brains trust” sessions.The evening of March 24th will be devoted to an exhibition of commercially available process analytical instruments. Full information and registration forms are available from the Assistant Secretary, The Institute of Measurement and Control, 20 Peel Street, London, WS.

All enquiries regarding the Symposium should be sent to Miss E.J. Jones, Image Analysing Computers Limited, Moat House, Melbourn, Royston, Herts., SG8 6EJ.
