and (3).
He argued that the chromium lines in (4) were the result of contamination from the surface of the shoe when the sample of point was scraped off and that chromium was not a constituent of that paint. He said, therefore, the paint on the Land Rover and that on the shoes were different paints.
Mr Robbins summarised his findings regarding the yellow paint by saying that having examined the spectra, prepared by Dr Holden, he could not pledge himself to a distinction between the point taken from the lorry and the paint taken from the shoes. They had the same composition.
The Defence then called to the box Mr Douglas Nicholas who is employed at the Fulmer Research Institute at Stoke Poges in Buckinghamshire. He is an Investigator in charge of the Department of Spectroscopy. His qualifications are by experience and not by academic diploma. Mr Nicholas agreed with the readings of Mr Robbins of the spectra relating to the khaki paint and said that it seemed likely that there were difference in the compositions of the khaki paint taken from the Land Rover and the Khaki paint taken from the shoes. He said he was not an expert on paints and could not say whether it could be accounted for by the fact that the samples may have come from different parts of the same pot of paint. He agreed it would depend on whether the paint was a homogeneous mixture. He concluded by saying that if they had been the same paint he would have expected the spectra to have been identical. 5
