Budden, Arthur Napier, 1902-1989 : Engineer

A.N. Budden was born in Montreal on April 28. He attended St. Alban's School, Brockville and the Royal Naval College of Canada (1917-1920). He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from McGill University in 1923. He was then employed by the General Electric Company in Schenectady, N.Y., and in Mexico. In 1927 he returned to Canada, obtained his B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from McGill in 1928 and then joined the Laurentide Power Company (later Shawinigan Water and Power Company). He became a sales representative at Dominion Engineering Company in Lachine, 1933-1940.

During the Second World War, Budden worked with the Department of National Defense, the Inspection Board of U.K. and Canada, and the Department of Munitions and Supply. While working for this department he was appointed to the NRX Nuclear Reactor project at Chalk River as Special Engineer representing the Minister (C.D. Howe), and later the Atomic Energy Control Board, in matters concerning the construction and operation of the project. In 1947 he joined the Post Office Department in Ottawa where he worked in various Engineering Sections until he retired in 1967. He was responsible for much of the up-dating of the parcel and letter-sorting machinery in major post offices and for the engineering aspects of new terminals at Vancouver and Winnipeg.

Budden joined the Engineering Institute of Canada in 1930. After his retirement, Budden became more active on its committees. He was chairman of the Mechanical Division of the Committee on Technical Operations (1968-1971) and thereafter a member of the Technical Operations Board which succeeded it. He was a member (1968-1969) of the Steering Committee for the formation of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME). He became a regional vice-president of both EIC and CSME in the 1970s and continued to work with the Life Members Organization.
