| Administrative / biographical background: |
The Electronics Research Council was set up shortly after the formation of the Ministry of Aviation in 1959 with the intention of separating out issues on electronics and allied subjects from those other scientific concerns considered by the Scientific Advisory Council. The council was served by six committees: Air Traffic Control & Navigation; Radar; Communication; Propagation Aerials & Waveguides; Optics & Infra-Red; and Solid State Physics & Devices. The council made annual reports to the minister, although it could submit recommendations to the minister at any time. The council was wound up sometime after 1980. |
