Extract

It is always an honour to be invited to give a lecture, and particularly a memorial lecture to a man so outstanding in his own field.

I knew Roy Chadwick and liked him. I admired, too, his working ability and his professionalism. He was a natural born designer, and I need not list here his attainments and successes since these were very adequately dealt with by Rogerson in the First Memorial Lecture to him.

I thought long about the subject of my talk this evening and finally decided that, at my time of life, it might be appropriate if I were to give a sketch of my accumulated experience, and experiences, over more than fifty active years—divided between marine diesel engines and automobile and aviation engines.
