Abstract

Don Fraser took the National Panel down to Adelaide for its meeting in November. The South Australian Engineering Heritage Subcommittee had arranged a bus tour to Victor Harbor on the day before the meeting so the Panel could cast an eye over some historic engineering sites in that area. Everybody was very enthusiastic about the concept and it seems likely to be continued for future meetings.
This was Fraser's last meeting as chairman. Bill Minty from Canberra Division succeeds him. Members also bade farewell to Bill Purnell from Victoria who leaves the National Panel at the end of the year.
One of the Panel's responsibilities is to vet proposals for commemorative plaques to be placed to mark events or sights of engineering importance. The first of these was unveiled by Bob Brown, chairman of the Mechanical Engineers College during the Agricultural Engineering Conference in Bundaberg. This plaque commemorates the work of Australian engineers in producing the cane harvesting machine.
