The Structural Engineer, Volume 7, Issue 5, 1929
Dear Sir, That there should be a permanent and lasting Memorial of affection and esteem for the late Sir Alexander Kennedy is a feeling common to all who knew him or his work.
The Chairman, Mr. R. H. H. Stanger, said that the Institution had had an extraordinarily interesting lecture from Dr. Hatfield, who, as the head of the Brown-Firth Research Laboratories in Sheffield-the laboratories which discovered stainless or rustless steel-was well known to all the members. He thought he could say that the high tensile steel which Dr. Hatfield mentioned in the early part of his lecture waa still rather expensive for ordinary building construction.
Mr. W.Y. CHAMBERLAIN (Deputy Chief Engineer of the Belfast Harbour Board) said: Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, in the first place I would like to thank you for according me the privilege of being present here tonight to listen to the excellent and most interesting paper submitted by Major Du-Plat-Taylor. I am sure you will bear with me when I tell you that I am totally unaccustomed to speaking in public, and especially before such a distinguished engineering audience as I now have the honour of addressing.
