He was known particularly for his expertise in equipment development, rather than buying analytical equipment off-the-shelf. After serving as a naval radar officer during WWII, in the post-war years he designed and built instruments, including X-ray diffraction equipment, for materials research and identification while at the CSIRO Division of Tribophysics and the Munitions Supply Laboratory, Maribyrnong. Following more than two years at the British National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, United Kingdom, Coyle joined the Aeronautical Research Laboratory, Fishermans Bend, Melbourne. His research as an Experimental Officer encompassed metal fatigue, fibre patching of metals, carbon-fibre technology, and car seatbelt design. He later moved to the Department of Physics at Monash university. Coyle was a founding member of the Australian X-Ray Analytical Association, the Australian Institute of Physics and the Society of Crystallographers in Australia. 1958 1958 Award - Florence Taylor Medal (Victoria), Australian Institute of Metals 1962 1962 Career position - Founding member, Australian Institute of Physics 1986 1986 Career position - Honorary Fellow, Department of Physics, Monash University 1986 1986 Life event - Retired from Monash University 1991 1991 Award - Florence Taylor Medal, Materials Australia (NSW) (formerly Australian Institute of Metals) Aeronautical Research Laboratories, Department of Supply and Development (1949 - 1994)
