| Personal Notes: |
|
Colin 1919, had quite a distinguished career. In 1936 he joined the P.M.G's Department in Brisbane. After a short period as a clerk he became a cadet engineer and at the same time studied science at Queensland University, majoring in maths and physics. He became a Chartered Professional Engineer with the formal qualifications of BSc (Qld), MIE (Aust) and CPEng.
Almost all Colin's professional life was concerned with sound broadcasting and television- for a few years at state, then at national and international levels. Early in his career he was in charge of technical operations for the National Broadcasting Service (ABC) in Queensland. In 1953 Colin moved to Melbourne to join the head office of the Australian Broadcasting Control Board (1953-1976) and then the head office of the Department of Communications (1977-1979). During his latter years with the Board, he undertook a number of overseas assignments, in most cases representing his country at international conferences in Geneva. Along the way in this most interesting career, Colin was Vice Master of King's College, University of Queensland and Specialist Lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering. He also was President of the Television Society of Australia. |
