The Structural Engineer, Volume 25, Issue 7, 1947
Elected to Honorary Membership of the Institution of Structural Engineers on the 24th April, 1947.
THE PRESIDENT (Professor H.J. Collins) , introducing the author, said that prior to his present appointment, Mr. Nevard had spent most of his career in the Timber Mechanics Department of the Forest Products Research Laboratory, and was responsible for much of the testing of timber therein carried out with a view to formulating Stress Grading Rules. He had been a member of many inter-Departmental and British Standards Committees, and had taken an active part in introducing timber economics into the Government building programme during the war years.
