Excerpt from Handbook to the Special Loan Collection of Scientific Apparatus On the motion of the President of the Royal Society, Dr. Hooker, it was unanimously resolved by the meeting that an exhibition such as that proposed would be most instructive and valuable. The question of the limits of the collection were discussed, and sub-committees were appointed to consider the limitations it might be desirable to place on the term scientific apparatus in the respective sections, while bearing in mind the space disposable for the exhibition in the Museum. As a provisional arrangement five sub-committees of sections were appointed to whom it was left to suggest such modifications in classification as might be found advisable.
