ETHELBERT THOMAS RUTHVEN-MURRAY served a pupilage with the [[South Metropolitan Gas Co|South Metropolitan Gas Company]], with whom he was associated for several years.
 
In 1892, however, he turned to electrical engineering, and after being engaged on the construction of the Crystal Palace District and the Larne electricity works he was appointed City Electrical Engineer at Aberdeen in 1893.
 
In 1899 he was appointed in a similar capacity at Worcester, and while he was there a deputation from the Willesden Urban District Council, who were contemplating starting an electricity supply, visited Worcester. As a result Mr. Murray was appointed engineer by the Council and designed and constructed an electric lighting and power station for them.
 
When the [[North Metropolitan Electric Power Supply Co|North Metropolitan Electric Power Supply Company]] bought the station, Mr. Murray was appointed general manager and engineer to the company, and held this position until 1920.
 
For a short time after retiring he acted as consulting engineer and was also interested in the production of a special type of electric sign. Mr. Murray's inventions included a metal bridge-piece for supporting lead-covered cables in troughing and a maximum-demand meter which could be adjusted by the consumer himself.
 
He became a Member of the Institution in 1902, and was also a Member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers.
 
His death occurred on 16th December 1927 in his fifty-eighth year.
