How It's Done In Fact
Very few people in Britain seem to know of the existence of a small group of scientists who work under the prosaic name of the Department of Government Chemists. These scientists are indirectly instrumental in the carrying out of lavy and justice in this country, and Stephen Grenfell of the BBC recently went down to their laboratories in Clement’s Inn Passage, just behind London’s Law Courts. He talked to Mr. "Gaskin, who works in the department which deals with the detection of forgeries. Asked how these forgeries were detected, Mr. Gaskin explained; "First of all we look at them under a microscope, as we want to magnify them generally, and then we photograph them either directly or with ultra-violet light or by infra-red photography." Mr. Gaskin said he can nearly always tell the phony job.
