Manufactured the first mains light Dimmer Switches in the UK, under the name 'Dimatic Switch'. Membership of Radio Society of GB, in 1977. Became licensed in 1977. Suggested to RSGB that the latest Call Sign, should be published in the Society's magazine to eliminate the delay in goverment publishing of official callsigns, Thus helping eliminate the pirate use of callsigns. Worked on various Government Contracts, -Metallic Glass Fibre, while factory manager for a company in Camberley, Surrey.

And have been acting in an advisery capacity to specialised Companys for the last ten years, which allows me to persue my own hobby/type interests in the following:- The experimental manufacture of Plastic Electrets. The experimental mixing of Electro Rheological Fluids. A unique, and possibly unbreakable Encryption code embedded within a black and white computer picture, transmitted as a .jpg. The Ultrasonic, breakup of liquids into a mist, helped by an electrical charge added to the droplets. An experimental Log Periodic Antenna -which I can vary in Frequency and Ohms, using a simple sliding tube system. For the last few years I have been willing to give unpaid advice on projects, within my capability that interest me. I occasionally write, in science fun forums on the Net]
