Dr B. T. K. Barry has been appointed Director of the International Tin Research Institute with effect from 1 October 1985 following the retirement of Dr D. A. Robins. Dr Barry joined the Institute's Research Department in 1962, subsequently became Head of Publications and in 1975 was appointed Assistant Director with special responsibility for the network of Tin Information Centres. He thus has had long experience of all the Institute's functions and activities and his appointment at a time when links are being forged between ITRI and the Association of Tin Producing Countries will provide a smooth transition from the previous Director.
