About Me

Jan Ford
Jan passed away on 13 July 2024.

Jan's blog will be maintained, both in her memory and also as a source of reference material in many areas of interest. New posts will be added, to continue to record the ongoing influence of Jan's work and life.

Jan:

I've been an electronics engineer for over 57 years and I'm interested in travel, history, architecture, the industrial revolution, science, railways and, well, lots of things. I believe in what one of my heroes, Richard Feynman, called "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out".

'Labels to select a blog topic' (below) will select the posts on a particular subject.

The Search Box (with the magnifying glass symbol) in the header will find posts including any particular word or phrase.
