Abstract :
The Committee of the Radio and Telecommunication Section have recently arranged some informal evenings to attract particularly the members of the Section who are interested generally in a subject but not in its specialized details. One of these was held on the 19th March, 1956, when Dr. H.A. Thomas of Unilever gave a talk on ´Electronics and Automation¿Some Industrial Applications´, during which he was assisted by a team of demonstrators who showed working exhibits of electronically controlled equipment automatically carrying out simple manufacturing processes, and a model of a well-known commercial computer. Films, one on automatic manufacture of radio equipment, and one on computers, were also shown at the meeting.
