SUMMARY:'Refugees from Nazism in the British Clothing Industry' by Anna Nyburg PhD
DESCRIPTION:This is a repeat of a highly popular presentation put on at Manchester’s Anthony Burgess Foundation in February \nThis event is both an in-person and on-line event. To reserve a spot for either option\, please visit the lecture’s Eventbrite page. \nThe Lecture will describe the influence of European Immigration\, under the rise of Nazism\, on the Clothing Industry. \nBased on her book The Clothes on our Backs: How Refugees from Nazism revitalised the British Fashion Industry\, in which she considers the trade in pre-war Germany and in particular\, the more modern approach there compared to Britain. The expulsion of Jews and pathways into Britain follows\, and then the wartime production changes. Individual case studies then show the refugees’ wide range of experiences in this country\, but also their contribution to all aspects of the industry from manufacture to display. \nAbout the Presenter\nAnna Nyburg’s PhD in 2009 was in Exile Studies and focused on the refugees from Nazism who transformed art publishing. The doctorate formed the basis of her book Emigres: The Transformation of Art Publishing in Britain. Since then she has published further books on design and related areas\, as well as co-making a film called Refuge Britain: Stories émigré Designers to be shown at the Victoria & Albert Museum. The Clothes on our Backs is her third book. \nNow a trustee of Insiders/Outsiders\, she works on events for their festival. As a committee member of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies\, she is organising a conference on the Refugees in Trade and Industry in 2023. \nDr. Nyburg is an Honorary Lecturer in the Centre for Languages\, Culture and Communication at Imperial College London where she taught languages for some 3 decades.

SUMMARY:'Medieval Windmills to Turbines' by Dr Bryan Lawton
DESCRIPTION:This event is both an in-person and on-line event. To reserve a spot for either option\, please visit the lecture’s Eventbrite page. \nThe talk describes the experimental and theoretical work on windmills from Bacon‘s early experiments using paper sails and a bellows\, through Smeaton‘s rotating arm device\, Perry‘s more sophisticated rotating arm\, and into the present day use of wind tunnels.  The developments in scientific understanding are outlined. \nAbout The Lecturer\nDr Bryan Lawton was a Western Region committee member for more than 20 years and recently stood down as Chairman.  He has published five papers in the TNS/ IJHET and was one of the organisers of the “Piston Engine Revolution” and “Swords into Ploughshares” conferences.  His two-volume work on the early history of mechanical engineering was given the American Society of Mechanical Engineers “Engineering Historian” award.
