1944 Obituary
WILLIAM POLLARD DIGBY was well known as a consulting engineer, specializing in hydro-electric schemes and electrical plant. He received his technical education at the Crystal Palace School of engineering and served his apprenticeship at the Newton Electrical Works, Taunton. In 1896 he went to New York to study the Woolf electrolytic process and in the same year he was appointed works superintendent to the British Electrozone Corporation with responsibility for the erection of the factory at Seaham Harbour. In the following year he worked under Professor Kanthack and Dr. S. Rideal on the sterilization of sewage effluents. From 1898 until 1901 he carried out experimental research in connection with the electrolytic production of sodium hypochlorite on an economic basis. During the next two years he was placed in charge of the test bed and later, of the
drawing office, of the Buck Henrici Engineering Company of Berlin.
On his return to England in 1903 he was engaged on inspection and research work and at the same time acted as lecturer at the Crystal Palace School of Engineering until 1910. Two years later he began to practice as a consulting engineer and went into partnership with the late Mr. A. C. Heap, M.I.Mech.E. He was responsible either singly or jointly, for the inauguration of many important schemes and was personally responsible for the inspection and testing of hydro-electric plant. During the laying of the huge pipe lines of the Tummel Bridge hydroelectric power scheme he acted, jointly with Lt.-Commr. R. B. Fairthorne, R.N. (ret.), A.M.I.Mech.E., as resident engineer for Messrs. Balfour, Beatty and Company.
Early in the war of 1914-18 he volunteered for service in France, but not being accepted, he served in the Territorial Force of the Royal Engineers and from 1916 to 1920 was attached to the Ministry of Munitions. Mr. Digby, whose death occurred at Bournemouth on 5th July 1943 in his sixty-eighth year, was elected an Associate Member of the Institution in 1901 and was transferred to Membership in 1916. He was also a Member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. His inventions covered a very wide range and included the "Vibragraph" vibration measurer; the "Ulvanic" method of paint testing;
a reflection meter; and (jointly with Mr. C. W. V. Biggs) the "Dionic" water tester. Latterly, his research in the field of chrome-copper stainless steels attracted considerable attention both here and in America.
In a fevered age, Mr. Digby never overlooked the simple courtesies, and he detested any form of cheap showmanship.

Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: a Consultant Electrical Engineer.

General Notes: In a Document received from Jane Elizabeth Marshall in June 2016, she included the following:-
British Museum Ethnography Dept
Adrian Digby joined the department in 1932 and, in an unpublished memoir written after he retired, vividly documented the evacuation of the ethnography collection to Drayton House in Northamptonshire during the war years. Adrian Digby became keeper in 1953. He was chiefly interested in the Maya, although he had responsibility for the archaeology and ethnography of the whole of the Americas.

He excavated the site of Las Cuevas in Honduras in 1957.
Published works on Ancient American Pottery, Maya Jades etc
Re the British Museum Crystal Skull "No British Museum official has suggested publicly that the skull is not ancient or that it is anything other than Aztec. However, in the soon-to-be-discussed British Museum crystal skull file, there is a letter from Adrian Digby to Dr. A.E. Werner of the Research Laboratory in which Digby makes a very intriguing assertion that varies greatly from the British Museum's public stance and raises additional questions. Digby wrote (italics added), "Our specimen is clearly not of Aztec origin, though it may well have been a cult object of some esoteric sect or it may be Masonic." While the British Museum public stance may be that it is probably Aztec, it is clear from this statement by Adrian Digby, a man concerned with the skull throughout his life, that he considered its origin to be
unknown - clearly not Aztec. "
