1988 – Nov – Howard – Presidential Address

T.S. Howard B.Sc. (Eng.) MIEE, FIRSE, C.Eng. Marketing Manager Westinghouse Signals Limited The notice on the Board announced that a strictly limited number of places were available for a visit to the recently commissioned new power signal box at Waterloo. Fifth and Sixth form boys who were taking science subjects could put their names down to attend. For no more noble reason than that such an expedition promised to be a more diverting occasion than another afternoon spent in compulsory support of the school's ill fated cricket team, one teenage boy at that English boarding school at the end of the last war applied to go on the visit.
