Abstract
The Melchett Medal for 1943 of the Institute of Fuel has been awarded to Dr. E. S. Grumell. This medal is the highest award in the gift of the Institute of Fuel and is being presented to Dr. Grumell in recognition of the outstanding work tending to the economical use of fuel which he has done over a long period. Dr. Grumell has, for many years, been head of the coal research laboratories of the Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., and the research and experimental work carried out by him, having been published for the benefit of the community as well as for that of his company, has resulted in improving the design of many combustion appliances and, consequently, in the saving of large quantities of fuel. In addition, Dr. Grumell was appointed chairman of the Fuel Efficiency Committee set up by the Mines Department and later carried on under the Ministry of Fuel and Power. The work of that Committee has undoubtedly contributed very largely to the more economical use of fuel in Great Britain, thus enabling our output of coal to meet the essential demands of both industrial and domestic requirements. The medal will be presented at the annual conference of the Institute of Fuel to be held in October next.
