Anderson and Dr. Derek Robinson for their recollections and comments,
and to my colleagues Dr. Robert Bud and Dr. Tim Boon for their
feedback. I would also like to thank Dr. Susanne Rehn for her remarks

remain are wholly my own.

All the non-archival sources cited here, except the private communi-
cations and the online document, are available at the Science Museum
Library. The unpublished Annual Reports of the Science Museum and
much of the published Science Museum material are kept in the semi-
rare book room. In addition to these sources, I also had access to the
chemistry curator's collection of gallery photographs and a set of labels
with floor plans for the 1977 Gallery.
