Abstract

The 1,158th lecture to be given before the Society, “Engines for Supersonic Air Liners” by Dr. R. R. Jamison, B.Sc., F.R.Ae.S., A.R.I.C. and Mr. R. J. Lane, Diploma of Graduate Studies (Birmingham), G.I.Mech.E., of Bristol Siddeley Engines Ltd., was given on 24th March 1960, at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 1 Birdcage Walk, London, S.W.I. The Chair was taken by Air Commodore F. R. Banks, C.B., O.B.E., C.G.I.A., F.R.Ae.S., Hon.F.I.A.S., M.I.Mech.E., M.Inst.Pet., Vice-President of the Society.

Introducing the lecturers, Air Commodore Banks said that after receiving his education at the South African College and the University of Cape Town, Dr. Jamison joined Rolls-Royce in 1937 and had remained with that Company until 1950, when he joined Bristol Aero-Engines Ltd.–now Bristol Siddeley Engines Ltd. He was Assistant Chief Engineer and Head of the Ram-jet Department and since 1950 had been working on ram-jet development. He and his team were regarded as the specialists in this country–and probably in Europe– on controllable ram-jets. Mr. Lane, joint author with Dr. Jamison of the lecture, had graduated from the University of Birmingham and had served his apprenticeship at the Royal Ordnance Factory before joining Bristols. He was now working on ram-jet dynamics and gas-dynamics of ram-jets with Bristol Siddeley Engines Ltd.
