Young Railwayman's Reward for Diligent Study.

Mr. C. R. Lovatt, B. Sc.

Mr. C. R. Lovatt, B. Sc.

Amongst the students capped recently at Victoria University College, Wellington, was Mr. C. R. Lovatt, of the N. Z. R. Signals and Electrical Branch.

Mr. Lovatt, whose portrait appears above, was born in Whangarei, North Auckland, and received his early education at the local District High School, where he won a Senior Scholarship, and later matriculated.

Joining the Service in 1921, as an Engineering Cadet, Mr. Lovatt prepared for, and passed, the qualifying examination for an Associate Membership of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, after which he commenced the studies which culminated successfully in his gaining his B. Sc. degree last year. Mr. Lovatt combines practical with theoretical knowledge, having specialised in automatic signalling and interlocking work, in the carrying out of which he has gained considerable field experience.

To Mr. Lovatt was delegated the duty of demonstrating and explaining the working of the Department's automatic signalling exhibit at the recent Dunedin Exhibition-a work that he carried out with no less success than the studies which, in the present instance, have won for him so much deserved congratulation.
