Abstract
AT the inaugural meeting for 1948 of the Society of Engineers (Inc.), the first award was made of the Simms Gold Medal, established under a bequest by the late F. R. Simms, for "a paper or lecture describing a new technical discovery, an outstanding invention, or the results of useful research work". The medal was presented to Mr. J. G. Milton for his paper on "Research and New Developments in Water Treatment". Other awards were as follows : Bessemer Premium to Mr. C. D. Mitchell, for his paper on "Prefabricated Pre-cast Concrete Structures" ; Nursey Premium to Mr. R. Cecil Smart, for his paper on "Industrial Organisation as a Factor in Productive Efficiency" ; Bernays Premium to Mr. Bernard Payne, for his paper on "Water Supply Engineering". Two other papers, namely, "The Engineer and the Law", by C. L. Boucher, and "Liquid Springs", by R. H. Bound, were of particular merit ; but their authors, as members of Council of the Society, were ineligible for awards, and they were presented .with certificates under seal. The new president of the Society is Mr. E. E. Turner, formerly chief engineer to H.M. Airship R.34, and an authority on high-speed engine lubrication.
