The Marland Family
Edward A Marland - Electrical Engineer
After
a grammar school education tending towards pure science E. A. Marland
was trained as an electrical engineer at University College Nottingham,
mainly because of the difficulty, in the early nineteen-thirties, of
finding an outlet in industry for the pure physicist. At the outbreak of
war, Marland was working in Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company on the
development of electrical depth-sounding for marine purposes, and during
the war he worked on anti-submarine devices for the Admiralty. Since the
war he has been employed by the London County Council as a lecturer on
scientific subjects in a Technical College. Mr. Marland is now a
part-time postgraduate student in the department of History and
Philosophy of Science at University College, London. His hobbies are
sailing and photography, and endeavouring to keep up with a son and a
daughter.
Mr Marland holds a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, and a Master's Degree in pure Science from London University, and is an Associate Member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers.
Edward Marland (1912-81) was the Author of Early Electrical Communication (1964), published by Abelard-Schuman Ltd, from which this biographical note is taken.
