SUMMARY:'RAF Planes that won the Battle of Britain were built by German Machinery' by Dr. Jonathan Aylen
DESCRIPTION:Having enlightened the people of Manchester in late September\, Dr. Jonathan Aylen takes his fascinating account of Ludwig Loewy to the people of Bristol. \nWhy the Jewish Refugee Engineer\, Ludwig Loewy was crucial to Britain \nLudwig Loewy was a Jewish engineer who left Nazi Germany in 1936 to set up an engineering firm in London as a refugee.  Britain was re-arming and a new generation of aircraft was being developed based on light alloy “stressed skin” construction.  Loewy Engineering had 2\,000 German drawings and the expertise needed to build machinery urgently needed for alloy fabrication. The machines were otherwise supplied from Germany at a time of growing tension. \nLoewy’s company developed rapidly\, helped by a workforce of refugee engineers and managers.  Loewy became a trusted advisor to the Government’s production programme for aircraft until his death in 1942.  His former firm in Düsseldorf\, Schloemann\, was ‘Aryanised’ after his departure and continued to supply equipment to the UK until the outbreak of war and went on to help the German and Italian war effort. \nLudwig Loewy’s rapid assimilation owed much to earlier contacts with the UK\, his welcome expertise in a sector that was growing at break-neck speed and customers who needed his technology.  The Government welcomed his contribution to aircraft production at a time of rapid re-armament. Ludwig Loewy’s experience supports the view that German speaking refugee engineers were readily accepted in the UK over the period 1933 to 1945.

SUMMARY:'The Turbine Plant on the Major Ocean Going Liners including Titanic' by Geoff Horsman
DESCRIPTION:This is a free 1/2 day event starting a 14:00 at which Geoff Horsman will give two talks that outline the development and history of turbines\, with particular reference to the work of Parsons.  This talk will be in the afternoon while the other will be in the evening. \nThere will also be an opportunity from 12 noon to 1.45pm to examine Parson’s No 4 Turbine which is held by Kelham Island Museum.  Turbine No 1 is understood to have been the prototype\, while Turbine No 4 is almost certainly the first production model. \nAlso see The Evolution of the Parsons Land Steam Turbine (the second talk) \nThe Programme for the day (both talks) is as follows:\n12:00 pm to 1:45 pm Tea and coffee and an opportunity to view the Parsons turbine that is held by Kelham. \n2:00 pm Welcome and a brief outline as to how Kelham became home to Parsons first-ever turbine-generator supplied to a customer for commercial operation. \n2:15 pm A History of Parsons and Pametrada Marine Turbines in the Great Liners\nThis talk will outline the evolution of Parsons and Pametrada’s most powerful marine steam turbines from the Mauretania and Lusitania via the Titanic\, Aquitania\, Île de France\, Empress of Britain\, Bremen\, Europa\, Queen Mary and Windsor Castle to the QE2. The creation of Pametrada which produced the engine designs for Britain’s most prominent shipyards to build – including John Brown\, Harland and Wolff\, Cammell Laird\, Vickers Armstrong\, Swan Hunters\, etc – will also be described. There will be insights into passenger life onboard the ships as well as the engines. \n4:15 pm Break \n5:30 pm Film “Makers of Power” \n6:00 pm The Evolution of the Parsons Land Steam Turbine\nThis talk will describe how the turbines produced for power station use changed from the World’s first turbine-generator of 1884 up until the time Parsons became part of Siemens in 1997. The keynote designs will be discussed including the machines for Calder Hall (the World’s first commercial nuclear power station)\, Drax (Britain’s largest power station)\, and Nanticoke (the largest coal-fired power station in North America). Reference will be made to the Kelham Island turbine generator in this talk. \n8:00 pm Closing Remarks \nAbout the Speaker:\nUntil his retirement\, Geoff Horsman was Chief Turbine Engineer for Siemens at C. A Parsons Works in Newcastle. He is now the keeper of the historic archive at the CA Parsons Works in Newcastle.
