CORROSION COMMENTARY

SOME forthright remarks about domestic fittings and appliances were made at a recent meeting of the S.C.I. Corrosion Group by Mrs. A. Jackman of Queen Elizabeth College, where domestic and household sciences are taught. Speaking about general corrosion problems which arise in the household, she condemned the penny‐wise and pound‐foolish policy to which householders have been subject. Chromium plating, for example, catches the eye of the customer and lasts just long enough so that she will not return the article to the shop.
