WILLIAM HAROLD LLOYD, who became an Associate Member of the Institution in 1920, died on 3rd July 1928 at the early age of 41.
He was born at Ironbridge, Shropshire, and served his apprenticeship with the Coalbrookdale Company.
He then took up a position as repair works manager for a London firm of automobile engineers. These works were closed during the War and Mr. Lloyd, who was ineligible for active service, commenced, with Mr. H.

Mr. Lloyd then commenced on his own account as a general engineer at Oswestry and Ironbridge with varying fortune.
He was also a journalist of some ability, having published many articles on the history and development of engineering trades.
