The article by Edwin Land is in the Proceedings of the Royal Institution of Great Britain, Volume 47, pages 23-58. There are many other articles by eminent scientists. This volume also represents a new communication method used by the Royal Institution of Great Britain. For the years 1851-1971, the Proceedings contained accounts of the Friday Evening Discourses and some of the other lectures given at the Institution, and several issues were published per year during that time. Starting in 1972, the Discourses were gathered for each year and published in one volume. This is the third such volume in the new publication approach, and covers the year 1974. (from the front dj flap) PROVENANCE: The Library of The Rowland Institute, set up by Edwin Land after leaving Polaroid. The library was dispersed when the Institute left it's original location. This volume came from Land's own collection of offprints and books which he maintained in multiple copies to hand out to visitors and other interested parties.…
