Abstract
THE death of MR. H. S. B. BRINDLEY is recorded in Engineering for April 9 as having occurred on March 28, only three days before his name appeared on the list of newly created Knights Commanders of the British Empire. Mr. Brindley was born in 1867, and educated at the Tokio Engineering College, where his father was an instructor. He had wide experience with several engineering firms, and will be remembered chiefly by his energetic development during the war of a disused artificial stone factory at Ponders End into a shell and gun factory employing more than five thousand hands, a task which could have been accomplished only by a very exceptional man.
