Product Information

Inette and Mike Austin-Smith met in 1946 as they resumed architectural studies that had been interrupted by the war. Two years later they were married, and in 1949 JM Austin-Smith and Partner was founded. Later Mike Austin-Smith would cite how teamworking and esprit de corps were an integral part of his war experience with the Royal Horse Artillery (he was awarded the Military Cross), and how he had learned the meaning of professional responsibility the hard way. The ethos of teamwork and professional responsibility became engrained in the practice that bore his name, and have remained ever since. By February, LEO received its first VIP visitor – HRH Princess Elizabeth, who witnessed a trial run. It is gratifying to know that 70 years on, The Queen wrote to the Society that she ‘fondly remembers her tour of Cadby Hall and viewing Lyons Electronic Office.’ May sees the Festival of Britain (below) opened by King George VI – timed to coincide with the centenary of The Great Exhibition. Burgess and Maclean defect to the USSR. The Goon Show starts.

Omega 3’s have also become part of successful cancer prevention and treatment plans for several different types of cancer. Finally, salmon’s B vitamins support the brain, nervous, hormone, and metabolic symptoms. I cannot remember why I adopted a sort of cubistic shape. I think that, at the time, there was quite a lot of designing of large scale housing, small housing, and the emphasis was on squashing it in small scale, because we didn’t have the land, we didn’t have the money and everything had to be really tight. Also, I had the blissful idea that if this was successful you could go on producing them, just like a sausage machine, you know a few more added on to the end…. We were very imbued with the idea of a ‘modern architecture’, and modern architects used flat roofs, I mean it was almost as simplistic as that, I can’t remember any other reason. I mean the idea of there being some kind of organic quality about pitch roofs being more preferable, being preferable to flat roofs, I don’t think that enters into it”. When Geoffrey designed the house, he did not know he would see it realised in Coventry. How this came about was down to RIBA and Ideal Homes.

The action referred to was during the operations in Sinai at the end of 1916. [1] In this command he was responsible for providing air cooperation for General Jan Smuts's force in East Africa, [5] for the forces in Salonika and Mesopotamia, for Allenby's conquest of Palestine, and for the RFC in India. [5] He was promoted to the substantive rank of lieutenant colonel on 3 September 1918. [18] In April 2003, Sarah gave birth to her third son, Joseph, whom she shares with her current husband Peter Salmon. Peter has three children from his previous marriage. There really isn’t any part of your body that doesn’t benefit from some regular salmon – from your head to your toes. The precious omega-3 fatty acids in salmon support heart health, reduce inflammation, boost your eyesight, and make your skin happy. The two decided that a series of show houses should be built to promote the scheme and, critically, to provide the magazine with valuable magazine content. The minutes of the Small House Committee suggest that RIBA drew up a list of speculative builders in Britain, and invited them to see an exhibition of the 30 award-winning plans. McLeans, a growing speculative housebuilding firm based in Wolverhampton, but with ambitions to reach beyond the Midlands, were one of those invited.Why might healthy microwave salmon be a good choice for your family? With just a small amount of butter, or even spray oil, you can create a dish with countless health benefits that tastes great.

The high ceiling…well it was a brave new world, we could do anything and no-one was going to stop us. We’d been through all that, you know, we’d had the war not far behind and so it was going to be a brave new world. I mean it was endemic, it wasn’t just on the cusp of victory, it was a few years after that, but it’s still… that feeling still gave a momentum to things we did. It’s amazing how long that went on before it gradually subsided, it was rather like a great froth if you like, we’re going to win and then, gradually,….it sort of slipped away”.a b c d e f g h i j k "Air Chief Marshal Sir Geoffrey Salmond". Air of Authority – A History of RAF Organisation . Retrieved 5 August 2012. His approach to design was innovative in delivery, informed by the clients’ business needs. In the early years he was responsible for some of the first supermarkets, GEM Stores and a brutalist complex of apartments in Camden for Abbey Road Co-op. For Heffers bookshop in Cambridge, he opened up the sales floors into a basement area, vastly extending the prime retail space in a rich mix of in-situ concrete and hardwood. Such was the strength of the Practice’s connection with clients that Peter also got to build a family home for the Heffers. Not much is known about her siblings but Sarah said they had a happy childhood. On growing up with a twin brother, she said it was "very healthy" and that they were "never compared". Research comments: This is an early document on what became the world's first commercial computer program. That job was known internally at Lyons as L3, the Lyons Bakery Valuations job, which produced valuations of the output and sales of the Cadby Hall bakeries. The document refers to the experimental nature of these early programs and Lyons' need to approach the experiment as a test of what would happen once their new computer was fully operational in terms of the data required to feed the new machine, its output and the timings for both. (LM) Peter John Lord, AA Dipl (Hons), RIBA, PPSIAD, FBIM was only 17 when he won a Leverhulme Scholarship to study at the AA, the youngest ever recipient of the award. PJL as he was known in his beloved architectural practice graduated to join Mike and Inette Austin-Smith at JM Austin-Smith and Partner. In 1963 Geoffrey Salmon and Peter became partners and the practice was renamed Austin-Smith/Salmon/Lord; then Austin-Smith:Lord, when in 1969 Geoffrey formed his own practice. Peter became Senior Partner in 1981 when Mike and Inette retired. He stepped down on his own retirement in 1995.

Geoffrey would eventually set up his own practice, extending his victorian family home in Hemel Hempstead to include an architectural studio. He became interested in office design and work flow, visiting Germany to study the latest projects there; and wrote books on the subject, as well as the new fangled idea of ‘storage’. It was in November 1951 that the ‘electronic calculator’ that Lyons had been developing for some time actually started its working career after months of trials and experimental runs. That first successful business program was run in three parts, with P1 completed on Wednesday 28th November 1951, as Ernest Lenaerts records in his notebooks (above). The final part, P3, was completed by 2:35pm on Friday 30th, and in typically understated and factual style, Thomas Raymond Thompson (TRT) reported that fact to his managers in a memo (below) the following week.

for conspicuous ability and devotion to duty when personally directing the work of the Royal Flying Corps during the action. The striking success attained was largely due to his magnificent personal example.
