most of below stated in the post of pasted text by Outboard.
Originally, the Advisory Council of Science and Industry, 1916-1920
next the "Commonwealth Institute of Science and Industry", 1921-1926
then the 'Council for Scientific and Industrial Research' 1926- 1948 ( correct answer to the question as asked)
Now the "Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation".1949- current
now shortened to and referred to as CSIRO
sorry couldn't help myself. Interested to see what you have Jaros.

Prior to the RFDS he established the AIM (Australian Inland Mission) a series of strategically positioned inland hospitals.
He also had a hand in establishing what he called the baby transmitter which eventually brought communication to the early pioneers and the school of the air to the children of the outback.

an old pickle bottle full of sovereigns,
which he kept 'planted. ' ' The secret
of 'this plant .has gone with the old
