The article by Edwin Land is in the Proceedings of the Royal Institution of Great Britain, Volume 47, pages 23-58. There are many other articles by eminent scientists.
This volume also represents a new communication method used by the Royal Institution of Great Britain. For the years 1851-1971, the Proceedings contained accounts of the Friday Evening Discourses and some of the other lectures given at the Institution, and several issues were published per year during that time. Starting in 1972, the Discourses were gathered for each year and published in one volume. This is the third such volume in the new publication approach, and covers the year 1974.
