Which areas of Technology are you interested in?

John Pittwood
Is your interest how the Romans built roads and aquaducts or how the World wide web came about?



I will look all types of infrastructure, buildings and machinery and wonder how it was built but my main interest is Automation & Control. This is a relativly new are of technolgy and I sometimes get the reaction "It doesn't work on steam". However the rate of developement and the lack of corporate interest in last weeks products let alone last years means that we could lose information on recent developments faster than the Victorin era.



So what interests do we have in this community?

    John Wilcock:

    Look at Marconi's 1922 applications. Although he was primarily interested in radio,in his New York presentation 1922 he made the remark that electromagnetic signals should be reflected by metallic objects and have applications in radar.




    Although rather expensive (£100 I believe), Galati's "100 Years of Radar" (2016) covers the work of the Marconi Company on early radar in the 1920s and 1930s.  Might be worth checking out.  Also, I have not looked at them but radar material in the Marconi archives (catalogue at http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/wmss/online/modern/marconi/marconi.html) may also be of interest.
