Editor's Comments

I am delighted that two prominent industrialists John F Gerling and Tony Koral have accepted my invitation to contribute articles for this issue. The origin of John F’s present company can be traced way back when his father John E left
Litton Industries. John F guides the reader very skillfully through the maze of Gerling Companies, culminating in its present unit of Gerling Applied Engineering.

Tony Koral and I go back many years when I worked for the Electricity Council Research Centre (now C-Tech) troubleshooting in industry and seeking advice from Tony on high power industrial applications of RF energy. Tony
describes recent developments at Strayfield Fastran, a leading company well known for its textile and other RF dryers.

In this issue Jon Binner reflects on the recently held 4th World Congress at Austin Texas in conjunction with the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). A highlight was the large number of exhibitors which is always very
welcome at our conferences because it emphasizes the importance industrialists pay to our meetings..
