On the radio

[nwhyte]

Jim Bennett was my supervisor for my M Phil in Cambridge, and then the external examiner for my Ph D; he's now in charge of the Museum for the History of Science in Oxford, and it was a pleasant surprise to hear his Belfast tones on Radio 4 this morning talking about his new exhibition on Marconi and the early history of radio

somehow or other some of Marconi's equipement ended up in the industrial school in Letterfrack. When they sold everything, dad bought it because it was going to go into the hands of a scrap merchant. I'm not sure if it's still around or if it went into the museum.
