The method of establishing the purity of silver products evolved over many years with a need for both accuracy and the time taken to test items submitted for assaying\, particularly in busy assay offices.  \nJim Andrew will explain the system and how to access the details of date and maker\, with examples from the last two centuries. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr Jim Andrew is a former museum manager at Birmingham Science Museum\, and is currently Chairman of Newcomen Midlands.
