newsmakers: REORGANIZATION AT LEEDS

REORGANIZATION within the Industrial Unit of Tribology at Leeds University confirms the appointment of Dr C.N. March, BSc, PhD, as manager of the Unit in place of Dr R.J. Wakelin who recently retired. The Unit now becomes fully integrated with the Institute of Tribology, of which Professor Duncan Dowson is the Director. This should be a beneficial move in that Professor Dowson plans to play a more active role than hitherto in the many activities of the Unit. He was, of course, its founder and first director in 1968.
