Abstract
THE administrators of the Beilby Memorial Fund have awarded one hundred guineas each to Dr. Constance F. Tipper (ne Elam), and to Dr. A. J. V. Underwood. Dr. Elam (Mrs. G. H. Tipper), was an assistant in the metallurgical department at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, in 1916-1734; and in 1917-27 she worked at the Royal School of Mines, South Kensington, where she was research assistant to Sir Harold Carpenter. During short periods between 1917 and 1928 she also worked in the Cavendish Laboratory, at Cambridge, and at the Davy Faraday Research Laboratory of the Royal Institution. In 1924 she was elected Armourers and Brasiers research fellow in metallurgy and held this fellowship for the maximum period of five years. Since 1928 she has conducted research in the Engineering Department of the University of Cambridge. The greater proportion of Dr. Elam's work relates principally to crystal growth in metals, particularly aluminium. Dr. Underwood is at present practising as a consulting chemical engineer, and is an honorary lecturer in the Ramsay Laboratory of Chemical Engineering, University College, London. Dr. Underwood has published a large number of papers on chemical engineering subjects, notably in connexion with filtration, distillation and flame temperatures. His treatment has been mainly mathematical and he has developed original quantitative methods for interpreting and applying basic chemical engineering processes.
