From ORA SMITH
Charles Arthur’s very fine article on superconductors (Technology, 24
September) omitted mention of Illinois Superconductor Corporation’s extensive
relationship with the University of Birmingham in Britain. Neil Alford, of
South Bank University, who was quoted in the article, was formerly with the
University of Birmingham, and left behind there a considerable group of
researchers in the field, now led by Tim Button.
I wish to recognise the very valuable contribution the group has made to
our technology development programme.
