[WIN BROTHERS — both bacheors of science and doctors of
hilasophy — who were awarded the Leyland President's 2rize for the most outstanding 3raduate trainees in 1976, have ]chieved still further academic iistinction. The Institution of Vlechanical Engineers has pre3ented them with the 1980 3ronze medals for their work on :ribology.
They are Dr Alan Ruddy and Dr Brian Ruddy, both of Leeds University. Brian's work has attracted the interest of engine builders in the UK, on the Continent and in the USA.
I am able to deny the story that when the boffins were presented to the Duke of Edinburgh with the introduction, "These are the Ruddy twins," he replied: "I'm bloody pleased to meet you."
