Extract

The 23rd Main Lecture to be given before a Branch of the Society was held under the auspices of the Merthyr Tydfil Branch on 10th November 1955. The Lecture, entitled “A Review of Some Combustion Problems Associated with the Aero Gas Turbine,” was given by Dr. J. S. Clarke, O.B.E., M.I.Mech.E., F.R.Ae.S. Mr. C. S. Gardner, Past President of the Merthyr Tydfil Branch, opened the proceedings by welcoming the guests. He was deputising for Mr. W. R. Morgan, the Branch President, who had unfortunately had to go into a nursing home for treatment for an old war injury. He apologised also for the absence of Mr. McGibbon who arrived back from America only that day and was unable to be present. He then introduced Mr. N. E. Rowe, President of the Royal Aeronautical Society, whom they were very honoured indeed to have with them. When they thought of the journeyings that his presence involved he thought they should be all the more grateful that he could come and support them in their Branch. He would ask Mr. Rowe to take the Chair.
