Description
Numerous, often coincidental, episodes during 40 years of functioning in many different “worlds of wire” have nurtured the author’s fascination with the entire technological history of wire and its uses. By providing anecdotes and details from several of these episodes, each illustrating a different form of motivation for his own personal enthusiasm, he proposes several ways for the Wire Association International to stimulate greater awareness of the subject. The aim is for others to be “drawn into” a better appreciation of the industry and its history. Audiovisual presentations will illustrate the lecture.
