In 1905, he sold his business and became a consultant to Minton’s, Doulton, and Wedgwood. Mellor and Moore became friends through the British Ceramic Society, which Moore was instrumental in establishing. In 1982 Aileen Dawson wrote that Moore’s ‘encouragement of the young Dr Mellor [was] immensely important for the British ceramic industry.’]]> [British Ceramic Society]]]> Photographs]]> [British Ceramic Society]]]> Pamphlets]]> Evening Sentinel, Staffordshire, 1938.]]> [Evening Sentinel?]]]> Evening Sentinel]]]> Newspapers]]> [J.

British Ceramic Society]]> Pamphlets]]> Higher Mathematics for Students of Chemistry and Physics was published by Longmans, Green and Co., in 1902, the year he completed his doctorate. This work represented the beginning of a long relationship with the firm. In August 1902, Mellor received a letter from Charles Longman (1852-1934), who informed him that the suggestion of a Physical Chemistry series was now a reality, and that Professor Sir William Ramsay (1852–1916) was to be editor. Longman also informed Mellor that Ramsay ‘thinks so well of your book’, which was certainly Mellor’s Higher Mathematics.]]> Charles Longman]]> Correspondence]]> Griffin’s Centenary Volume, which states that ‘well over 90 per cent. of the firm’s publications are technical and scientific text-books, manuals and monographs’. Charles Rae Griffin became a director in the company when his father, also Charles, died in 1907. Griffin amicably corresponded with Mellor in the late 1930s regarding the republication of his Treatise on Quantitative Inorganic Analysis. Here Griffin mentions his upcoming trip to South Africa to visit his ‘dear old mother’.]]> Charles Rae Griffin]]> Correspondence]]> Cyclopedia Company]]> Photographs]]> Cyclopedia Company]]> Photographs]]> David Low]]> Books]]> Clay and Pottery Industries (1914) the wide-angle lens used for taking the photographs ‘greatly exaggerate the spaciousness of the interior.’ It is here in his ‘sanctum’ that Mellor taught his students. In 1905 Mellor also became Director of the Research Laboratories of the Federation, and Honorary Secretary of the Ceramic Society (UK) and editor of its journal.]]> Edited by J. W. Mellor]]> Books]]> Clay and Pottery Industries appeared. The papers within reveal the full range of his scientific investigations: from the performance of fire bricks and the nature and behaviour of glazes, to thermal expansions of floor tiles and constituents of clays. During WWI his chief work concerned the improvement of refractory linings of steelmaking furnaces, advising the government when ‘supplies of refractory materials and …many necessary steel alloys were cut off.’ For this work he was offered a peerage, which he refused. No doubt some of the class of 1913 depicted here went on to enjoy the facilities of the new Central School of Science and Technology, built the following year (1914). Mellor was made Head of the new Ceramics Department.]]> Edited by J. W. Mellor]]> Books]]>
