Scope and content
Contains articles produced mainly in the 1950s on experiments carried out to determine the degree to which dogs could sniff out metals and explosives. Experiments to determine the smell threshold of rats are also covered. Most of this work was done at the University of Birmingham and the Signals Research and Development Establishment in Christchurch. In 1970 J.T. Eayrs contacts SZ for advice regarding preparations for an experiment to establish the degree to which dogs can detect hidden explosives.
