C A M B R I D 6 E city of science Sir JJ Thomson , as Cavendish Professor of Physics and Master of Trinity College, was one of Cambridge University' s most illustrious figures. Known throughout the world for his discovery of the electron; he played a dominant part in modern scientific achievement. His enquiries into the true nature of cathode rays made possible the engineering and exploitation of the now familiar wireless valve and television tube. Under his direction, the Cavendish Laboratory attracted sufficiently brilliant students to form a physics school of unprecedented eminence, on which the present glory of Cambridge science is founded. It is therefore with pride that we can look back to the year 1896, when the late W . G. Pye started making scientific instruments for the University, and say that the Pye research laboratories and factory have always maintained the traditions of accuracy and enterprise which are associated with the name of Cambridge: RADI0 AN D TE LEVISION Ai PYE (NEW ZEALAND) LIMITED, P.O: BOX 2839, AUCKLAND: 61R
