Administration for Defence Scientists
All scientific work must be carried out against a background of adequate administrative support if it is to become effective and produce useful results. Administration is not a job for which we, as scientists, are particularly trained; and it is a thing of which we tend to fight shy, partly because, author suppose, most Of peoples are associate the administrator with highly unpleasant matters such as income tax, delays in getting our pay cheques, and so on - For that reason we do not feel, always pay sufficient attention to administrative affairs ; rather like the ostrich, we try to escape from them by merely ignoring them. But that is a wrong and unfruitful attitude to adopt. All live so much under the activities of the trained administrator that should, if, it give a great deal of thought to our own administrative problems deliberate and conscious thought to them-and make an honest and heart-searching self analysis regarding our own possible failings
The technical growth and development of signals
Technical Growth and Development of Signals will not be confined to the sequence of changes that have taken place in our own Indian Corps of Signals during the past years but to the technique of signaling as a generic subject with an international appreciation. Author propose to explain very briefly, owing to the limitation of time, how through the ages, the supporting arm of Signals has been an inseparable part of the field Army and the manner in which methods of signaling and equipment have undergone changes to conform to the growing needs of land operations. As the fighting arms of the Army became more and more mechanized, complex, widely dispersed and capable of holding larger frontages, so did the signaling arm undergo development to cope with the ever growing needs of field commanders to maintain control over their troops
Theory of load carriage by man
Carrying of load by man has been a necessity since pre-historic times. It was the sole means of transportation prior to the domestication of animals like ox, ass, horse, etc. Today with the advancement of mechanical transport, the art has disappeared except where Mechanical transport is beyond reach, impracticable or uneconomica
Influence Of atmospheric conditions on ‘Bloomed’ Optical Instruments
When light passes from one transparent medium to another, having an index of refraction different from the former, part of the light is transmitted through the second medium & part of it is reflected back at the boundary surface between the two media (Fresnel's reflection)
