Three (or four) straightforward experiments would contribute greatly to completing the spectroscopy of baryons and light mesons. In the baryon sector, data are needed on inelastic reactions from a polarised target with pi and kaon beams up to 3 GeV/c. Similar data are needed in the light meson sector for pbar-p interactions in the momentum range 0.3 to 2 GeV/c. In both cases, valuable information is to be obtained from longitudinal (L) and sideways (S) target polarisations as well as the conventional normal (N) polarisation. Thirdly, 3S_1 and 3D_1 mesons in the mass range 1 to 2.4 GeV/c could probably be separated either by diffractive dissociation of transversely polarised photons or by radiative return experiments using transversely and longitudinally polarised electrons.
