THE death of Sir Robert Hadfield in his eighty-second year on September 30 removes a notable figure from the world of science and of industry. To the outside public he was probably better known than any other metallurgist, while his striking personality and capacity for making friends, together with his activity as a writer and as a correspondent, made his circle of colleagues exceptionally wide.
