Abstract
THE Council of the British Welding Research Association announces the appointment of Dr. H. G. Taylor as director in succession to Mr. A. Ramsey-Moon, who has been with the Association from its earliest stages and whose resignation has been announced. Dr. Taylor joined Messrs. Vickers, Ltd., at Barrow-in-Furness in 1921, and three years later obtained the firm‘s scholarship, with which he entered the University of London, graduating with first class honours in electrical engineering. He was awarded a Royal Scholarship and conducted research at the City and Guilds of London Institute, receiving the degree of M.Sc. (Eng.) for a thesis on the collection of current from commutators and slip rings. Joining Messrs. Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd., as a college apprentice, he was later posted to the Research Department. In 1929 he joined the staff of the Electrical Research Association to start investigations on earthing, and many reports have since been published on this subject. With these Dr. Taylor was associated, and for them he received the degree of doctor of science in engineering of the University of London. In 1937, he was appointed, electrical engineer to the Copper Development Association, and it was here that he commenced his connexion with the welding industry. This has been continued in his appointments as technical adviser to Philips Industrial Co., Ltd., and as manager of the Industrial Development Department of Philips Lamps, Ltd., in which posts he has been closely connected with the latest developments in arc and resistance welding.
