Abstract
MR. FRANK WILLIAM HABBOBD, who died on December 27, at the age of eighty-two, after a long and active career as a metallurgist, was born in Norwich and studied at the Royal School of Mines. After holding posts in iron and steel works in Staffordshire he became consulting metallurgist to the Indian Government, and from 1892 until 1905 he was at the Royal Indian Engineering College at Coopers Hill. In 1905 he took up private consulting practice in London, and the firm of Riley and Harbord (later Riley, Harbord and Law) has always enjoyed a high reputation in the metallurgical world. Although greatly hampered in later years by failing eyesight, he retained his position as senior partner until his death.
