-Mr Arthur Firth, MSc (Associate Member), died on 14th October at the early age of 42.
-Arthur Firth left school in 1939 to take up an engineering apprenticeship, studying part time at the Bradford Technical College, where he was awarded a Whitworth scholarship in 1946; two years later the Institution awarded him a Clayton Fellowship.
-The following year he joined [[ICI]] at Billingham, leaving in 1957 to take up an appointment in the Reactor Group of the [[UKAEA]] at Risley, as an assistant chief engineer in reactor design.
-He rapidly established for himself a place in the AGR project team and was subsequently made deputy chief and then chief engineer in 1962 on the design and construction of the 100 MW prototype [[Steam Generating Heavy Water Reactor|SGHWR]], at Winfrith Heath, Dorset. He brought to the project not only experience and skill as a designer but also a firmness in management which reflected his own clear thinking and his capacity for appraising situations without bias.
-It is with deep regret that the Institution records the death of this brilliant engineer.
