The next IET Bristol event is about Smart Highways, at UWE on Monday 18th. Full details are are in the IET Events Calendar. You can also download the poster.
Why not check out our updated website too? IET MyCommunities is now called Engineering Communities, and has a cleaner new look that is easier to navigate.
The poster is now available for our next event on 18 April, “Bloodhound on my Trail”: developing the Ferranti Argus computer and its lessons for modern engineering.
Jonathan Aylen from the Newcomen Society presents a lively paper using the history of technology to look at the organisation of R&D. Starting with the “rocket science” behind the Bristol Bloodhound Mark 2 guided missile, he shows how the guidance system was developed, prompting a major switch from analogue to digital control, and looks at how this technology was successfully transferred from a military application into civil industry.
