Biographical Note
Raymond Arthur Priddle (1913-1971) was a consulting engineer who spent most of his professional life in Sydney. He was born in 1913 in Wagga Wagga and attended the University of Sydney, where he graduated with First Class Honours and the University Medal in 1934.
R. A. Priddle joined the firm of A. S. Macdonald & Wagner in 1935, becoming a partner in 1944. He was a member of the National Capital Planning Committee from 1958-1962 and of numerous sub-committees of the Standards Association of Australia; President of the Sydney Division of the Institution of Engineers, Australia from 1963 to 1964; and a fellow of the senate of the University of Sydney from 1967 to 1971. He assisted the overseas consultants with the foundation design and construction and above ground infrastructure of the Sydney Opera House.
Priddle was concerned with the structural design of a wide range of projects which included multi-storey buildings, reinforced and prestressed concrete projects. Priddle designed the structures of the CSIRO's radio telescope at Parkes, the University of Sydney's Mills Cross radio telescope at Hoskinstown near Canberra, and the Stellar Interferometer at Narrabri. In 1968 he visited a number of the world's largest telescopes; later, in association with the university, he made models of several alternative designs of polar axis struts. His last project was the structural and civil works for the Anglo-Australian Observatory's 150-inch optical telescope at Siding Spring, near Coonabarabran.
He was awarded the R. W. Chapman Medal in 1963, and was posthumously awarded the Peter Nicol Russell Memorial Medal in 1971.
