Your President and Mr. B. D. Blackwell of the Rolls-Royce company were brash enough to have suggested that I present the Halford Memorial Lecture. And 1 fear that I was impetuous in having accepted. I am sorry that I did not know Major Frank Halford, but from what I have read and from those with whom I have discussed his achievements, he was indeed a leader, an engineer, a designer, a man of much foresight, without whom our world of air transport would not have progressed so far. I know he would have been interested in the engine design trends which form the subject of my discussion—The Development of Small Gas Turbines for Aircraft Auxiliary Power.
