An informal evening¿to discuss electronics and automation

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.
