Abstract
ROLLO APPLEYARD, whose death occurred on March 1, was one of those pioneer engineer-physicists who did so much during the last few decades of the nineteenth century to establish British electrical industry on a scientific basis. Born in 1867 and educated at Dulwich, he was fortunate, as a student at the City and Guilds Institute, to come under the influence of that great coalition Profs. Ayrton and Perry. Bedford College and Coopers Hill College in turn welcomed him afterwards on the physics side.
