Extract

Mr H FUCHS was born in Czechoslovakia in 1930 and emigrated to this country in 1939 He was educated at Northampton Grammar School, and obtained his Honours Degree in Physics at the Manchester University in 1952 Prior to obtaining his Ph D in Electronics, on the subject of helicopter computers in ground resonance, at Southampton University, he was employed in the Guided Weapons Laboratory at Vickers Armstrongs as an Electronic Engineer Since 1956 he has been with Blackburn and General Aircraft as Chief Electronic Engineer in charge of the Electronic Laboratory and the Electronic Design of Aircraft His work has included the design and production of Blackburn's analogue computer, and is currently engaged in designing an airborne analogue digital converter, fully transistorised, and associated electronic data handling equipment to a system of flight testing of aircraft
