Description: The interest of the author in this subject of this monograph began in 1949 when the author was made a member of the Ratio Club. This was the brainchild of J. A. V. Bates of The national Hospital; it consisted, like a Christmas Pudding, of two parts of everything likely to improve the mixture! The members, most of whom appear in the Frontispiece, were Harold Shipton, John Bates, Edmund Hick, John Pringle, Donald Sholl, John Westcott, Donald Mackay, Ian Little, Tom McClardy, Ross Ashby, Thomas Gold, Albert Uttley, Alan Turing, grey Walter, William Rushton, George Dawson, Horace Barlow, Pat Merton, Eliot Slater and Philip Woodward, all in random order, a most important rule of the Club! Through the Club the author met and worked with Ben Delisle Burns. He / She would like to pay tribute to all these men, some now dead, from whom he / she has learned so much.
