For many physical researches a
perfectly noiseless room is a desid-

it would open out new possibilities
of research. At the University of
Utrecht the problem has been ap-
parently successfully solved by the
room designed by Zwaardemaker.
The walls and ceiling of the room
are II inches thick, and are formed
of six separate layers, The first
consists of a feltlike material of
horsehair, known as trichopiese,
this is followed by a layer of porous
stone isolated from the floor by
sheet lead. An air space of about
an inch is followed by wood, and
then a coursa of ground cork and
