EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical photograph, Lord Dudley Gordon, a prominent figure in the engineering community, is seen unveiling a commemorative plaque marking the founding of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on the site of its current headquarters. The event took place on 26th February 1948, at the Curzon Street goods offices of the London Midland Region. Lord Dudley Gordon, a respected engineer and former President of the Institution, proudly holds a pair of golden scissors as he prepares to cut the ribbon, signifying the official unveiling of the plaque. Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, including members of the Institution and local dignitaries, Lord Dudley Gordon's expression conveys a sense of pride and accomplishment. The Institution of Mechanical Engineers, founded in 1847, is one of the most prestigious engineering institutions in the world. Its mission is to promote and advance the science and art of mechanical engineering for the benefit of society. The new headquarters at Curzon Street provided a central location for the Institution to continue its work, and the unveiling of this plaque marked a significant moment in its history. The photograph captures a moment of celebration and reflection, as the Institution looked back on its past achievements and looked forward to the future. The plaque serves as a reminder of the Institution's rich history and its continued commitment to engineering excellence. This photograph is a valuable historical record of an important moment in the Institution's history and provides a glimpse into the past as it marks the founding of IMechE on the site of its current headquarters.
