Abstract

ON July 28, a memorial to Sir Charles Parsons, who died on January 12, 1931 (see NATURE of February 28, 1931) was unveiled at the works of Messrs. C. A. Parsons and Co., Ltd., at Newcastle-on-Tyne by his daughter, Miss Rachel Parsons. The memorial is formed of a medallion portrait of Sir Charles, in profile, carved in Bianca del Mara stone; this is surmounted by the family coat of arms. At the ceremony Miss Parsons said that the memorial was erected on the site of the room in which her father spent so many hours of his life working at the scientific and engineering investigations which appealed to him above everything else. The memorial was designed by Mr. Maurice E. Webb and Mr. Reid Dick was the sculptor.
