Abstract

THE chair of electrical engineering in the University of Birmingham, vacated by the resignation of Prof. B. L. Goodlet, has been filled by the appointment of Dr. Cecil Dannatt. Dr. Dannatt has had many years experience with the Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd., at Manchester, especially in the Research Department, where he has for some time been in charge of the Electrical and Magnetic Laboratory. His work has brought him into close contact with various branches of the industry and has given him opportunities of judging the needs and capabilities of young men in training for routine work and for research in electrical engineering. In the 1938-39 session, Dr. Dannatt was part-time lecturer in electrical engineering at Queen Mary College, University of London. Prof. Goodlet, who only took office in November last, resigned in order that he might make more effective use of his capacity in war-work elsewhere.
