Extract

Tonight, once again, we honour the memory of Frederick William Lanchester, one of the great pioneers of modern engineering, born in 1868 died in 1946. We keep his memory alive by exploring how his ideas and concepts have flowered into maturity, and by reminding ourselves that his example, philosophy and strength of purpose are still relevant in today’s world. I suppose each of us reacts individually to the life and work of a great man.
