23/10/2019 - Paul Bramley presented
with the Callendar Medal
On Wednesday 23rd October, Paul Bramley (Metrosol’s
founder) went down to the “hallowed halls” of
the Royal Institution in London where he was presented with
the Callendar medal by the Institute of Measurement and
Control. This is awarded annually for an “outstanding
contribution to the art of instruments or measurement”
as a result of his work on the development of a practical
Johnson noise thermometer.
Paul commented “This is a tremendous honour, for
which I can only thank the institute. Although it is an
individual award, I must acknowledge that this is a collective
effort with invaluable contributions from my colleagues
Dr David Cruickshank and Jeremy Gill, John Pickering of
Metron Designs as well as the support and assistance from
NPL, in particular from Dr Jon Pearce and Dr Jonathan Williams.
I enjoy running in my spare time and this project feels
a little like running a marathon. What feels strange is
that I seem to be receiving a medal at about the 22 mile
mark, just as I’m “hitting the wall”!
When I pointed this out, I was assured that the selection
committee had every confidence the project would be successful,
so no pressure then! It was a great evening and after the
nervousness of collecting the award I was able to enjoy
a fascinating lecture on the redefinition of the kilogram
by Dr Ian Robinson”.
