Description
A pressuring vessel, likely built in-house using spare parts from other machines, in the Chemistry Department at the University of Canterbury.
This instrument was used for Dr Robin Mann’s PhD project in the late 1950s to early 1960s. Dr Mann completed three degrees in Chemistry at the then Canterbury College of the University of New Zealand – BSc (1957), MSc (Hons) (1959) and PhD (1962), and worked as a part-time lecturer before embarking on a distinguished career in industry and management.
In 2001, Dr Mann was co-opted to the University Council and shortly afterwards was appointed Pro-Chancellor. He was appointed Chancellor in 2003, and stepped down from Council at the end of May, 2019. Dr Mann continued serving the University, acting as both Chair and Deputy Chair of the UC Foundation.
