| GSM/DR/By | Edward B.Bailey | Bailey joined the Survey in 1902 and was immediately sent to Scotland.He became District Geologist in 1919 but following disagreements with Flett and his removal from the Highlands to work on the Ayrshire coalfields Bailey left the Survey in 1929 to take up the Chair of Geology at Glasgow University. In April 1937 Bailey returned to the Survey as Director. He appinted McLintock as Deputy Director to undertake all administrative work and established a more rational District organisation by dividing the country into six districts and allowing the District Geologists greater control within their regions. He closed the small district offices in York and ? though Manchester and Newcastle remained.
WW1 interrupted much of the work of the Survey and Bailey served in France, losing one eye. |
| GSM/DR/Ml | W.F.P.McLintock | William Francis Porter McLintock joined the Survey in 1907 as Assistant Curator and transferred to the Royal Scottish Museum in 1921. He returned to the Survey in 1922 as Curator and Librarian and remained in this post until he became Director in 1945. He accompanied Flett in 1925 on a tour of European museums as a prelude to the move of the Geological Museum to Exhibition Rd. In 1926 he joined Phemister in an experimental trip to Persia to test the torsion balance in mapping gravity contours. This was the beginning of geophysics for the Survey. |
