977 Notes and News Announcements and other items of crystallographic interest will be published under this heading at the discretion of the Editorial Board. Copy should be sent direct to the British Co.editor (R. C. Evans, Crystallographic Laboratory, Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, England). 3 ° Strips for Fourier A n a l y s i s and S y n t h e s i s A t h i r d issue of these Fourier strips has now been completed, a n d the sets can be supplied in the following two forms: (1) U n c u t tables, each set containing 366 tables 7 in. b y 12½ in., duplicated on b o t h sides (except t h a t the h = 30 tables are printed on one side only). Instructions for c u t t i n g a n d for the m a k i n g of suitable boxes can be supplied. Delivery of this form is prompt. Price £15, plus postage. (2) Cut strips, m o u n t e d in two mah o g a n y boxes w i t h sloping sides, r e a d y for use. Delivery time in this form depends u p o n the demand. The price is £40, plus £2.10.0. cost of crate for export, plus cost of shipping. The gross weight is 45 lb. The 3 ° strips give the values of A cos hn3 ° a n d A sin hn3 ° to the nearest integer, for values of n going from 0 to 30 (even values of n being on one side a n d odd values of n on the reverse side). The range of A covered (on the different strips) is from --100 to + 100 in steps of 1, a n d t h e n to + 9 0 0 in steps of 100. Thus immediate two-figure working is obtained, a n d users requiring higher accuracy can draw two strips per amplitude to reach a value of 1,000. The values of h go directly up to 30 in different c o m p a r t m e n t s of the boxes, b u t the separation into even a n d odd values of n means t h a t b y suitable changes of sign of the amplitudes the range of h can be extended to all values. Similarly, of course, the range of n can be extended from 30 to 120. Papers describing the strips a n d their uses are: BEEVERS, C . A . & L~eso~, H . (1934). Phil. Mag. 855. BEEVERS, C.
