The legacy of all this seeped <strong>in</strong>to <strong>Oxfordshire</strong> – and elsewhere.<br />
•Oxford Instruments, the university’s first sp<strong>in</strong> out company was founded – See<br />
Audrey’s excellent book “Magnetic Venture”<br />
•Another <strong>Clarendon</strong> Man, Jeremy Good (Mendelssohn’s student), founded a<br />
company called, Cryogenic<br />
•Mendelssohn founded the journal “<strong>Cryogenics</strong>” <strong>in</strong> Oxford<br />
•Yet another <strong>Clarendon</strong> man, Ralph Scurlock, founded the Institute of<br />
<strong>Cryogenics</strong> <strong>in</strong> Southampton<br />
•Kurti was a co-founder of the British <strong>Cryogenics</strong> Council (its current chairman<br />
is a <strong>Clarendon</strong> man …..)<br />
•John Cosier and Mike Glazer (both <strong>Clarendon</strong> men) founded Oxford<br />
Cryosystems (Long Hanborough)<br />
•He<strong>in</strong>z London proposed the 3 He/ 4 He dilution refrigerator at a conference <strong>in</strong> the<br />
<strong>Clarendon</strong> “The Harwell fridge” that was developed by OI.<br />
•And, of course, Harwell, RAL (or NIRNS as was) and Culham (the famous<br />
Goodall chart) were all strong centres of cryogenics. Although, until 1974, they<br />
were <strong>in</strong> Berkshire NOT <strong>Oxfordshire</strong>.<br />
I’m sure there’s lots I’ve forgotten / didn’t know <strong>in</strong> the first place.<br />
You might call the above “direct impact”………………<br />
