Radio and Electronics Society
1968
The Radio and Electronics Society report written by J P Gillham from the 1968 issue of the Bostonian magazine
The restarting of the Society this term is largely due to the enthusiasm of Naylor and Reeks, who have roped in Messrs Shipstone and Melsom. Many of the boys attending the few meetings before this article was written were from the first two years and they are keenly absorbing the basic facts. The accent is mainly on practical work and those who can weild a soldering iron have been dismantling old TV chasis. It is hoped that several experiments can be set up in the near future using the components from the above mentioned chassis.
The Society would like to thank Gratton in the First Form for the donation of a TV set which was coaxed into operation for the launching of Appollo [sic], and the Olympics. Also our thanks got to Messrs Shipstone and Melsom for their patience and help.
