5. Brian Blandford is interesting as the designer of Night Vision goggles, Head-up displays etc. and as an author of textbooks on optics.
6. Rob Harris is interesting in being someone for whom the Arkwright scholarship launched his career and he does some interesting “Green Building technology”
7. Andrew Parr is interesting in terms of his work on electronic control of red-hot steel travelling at 60mph through rollers in a Steel Mill and as an author of textbooks on electronic control systems.
LOL is that what you young people would say in this cases? Hello there, i’m a 84 years old grandfather and I’ve just found this website in my browser history. My nephew used my laptop the last time he went here, I believe he says LOL pretty often but I’ve started to undertand what it means only recently but he’s a good boy after all. Keep doing your best guys, Internet is a real blessing and you have no idea how lucky you are. Best wishes by a old man commenting for the first time
