We are very excited to announce the addition of a talk to our programme, entitled Birth of the Signalling War: The Marconi Company's key role in WW1, by Dr Elizabeth Bruton of the University of Oxford.
A passionate and experienced speaker on the history of electronic communications with a special interest in Marconi, Dr Elizabeth Bruton has appeared on several BBC TV science programmes and radio broadcasts, including Shock and Awe and Melvyn Bragg’s In our Time.
Dr Bruton will talk about the vital wartime contribution made by the Marconi Company and Marconi Company engineers and staff employed by the British military during World War One. This talk will also include a local element: the establishment of a signals interception station located in the Hall Street works here in Chelmsford.
