- Abstract
This section presents police science technical abstracts and notes. The type manufactured by Ransmayer & Rodrian, Europe's largest producer of typewriter type, is used on a great number of machines, including some American makes. The development of the comparison microscope and its applications are traced with emphasis on the work done by pioneer criminalists in Europe. An author recommends as still very useful the methods of soaking the paper bearing the iodine-developed fingerprints in a very dilute solution of palladium chloride in water and placing a few iodine crystals in a heated porcelain dish and a piece of plate glass placed over it. It is reported that prints of a new medical film are available for loan from the Wm. S. Merrell Company and the American Medical Association. A cathode layer excitation method has been described, applicable to the examination of paints and related material forensic science.
