| The Catt Anomaly Science beyond the Crossroads Ivor Catt Westfields Press, 121 Westfields, St. Albans AL3 4JR, England 1996, 2001 First published in 1996 .... .... p55 The log-jam identified.
To the Chief Executive, IEE 5/11/1995 Second copy sent 29/4/2004 (see p71) Dear Dr Williams, The Catt Anomaly The enclosed letters, all written by IEE officers, show disarray in the IEE. You may recall that matters started with Catt's letter to you highlighting the discrepancy between Bradford (McEwan) and Cambridge (Pepper). Secker and the IEE backed Cambridge, until suddenly on 25 Oct. 95 they switched to backing Bradford. On 26 Oct. 1995 your representative Secker disqualified himself from the matter. I am certain that Catt only wants the IEE to fulfil its role as outlined by Secker on 4 Sep. 95 and "promote the general advancement of electrical science and engineering and their applications and to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas on these subjects". This performance of its stated duties is also requested by Miller OBE, Simmonds FIEE, Turin (subject of BBC Horizon Program on 27 Nov. 95), Ivall (former Editor of Wireless World) - an IEE Journal announces forthcoming discussion; discussion occurs; agreed summary of discussion is reported in an IEE Journal. Please advise if financial considerations are restraining the IEE from doing its duty. Yours faithfully [signed] Eugen Hockenjos, B.Sc., DipHE. encl. Hamlin/Miller 9nov95; Secker/Ivall 25oct95; Secker/Catt 4sep95; Secker/Metzer 19sep95; Secker/Simmonds 26oct95; Wilson/Simmonds 9nov95; Turin/Williams 15nov95 The silence is deafening. | |
