Ivor Catt, 121 Westfields, St.
Albans AL3 4JR 22.3.2020 By letter http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/28211.htm To the Chief Executive of the IEE, Nigel Fine, IEE, Savoy Place, London WC2R 0BL Dear Nigel Fine, After being silenced for 50 years [Note 1] since my
IEEE 20pp in 1967 http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x147.pdf
, my work is now discussed in the Royal Society and the IEEE, admittedly not
including “The Catt Question” cattq http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/cattq.htm
, which remains silenced by the IEE. An exception was that my co-author Dr. Arnold Lynch, who gave the keynote evening speech in
the IEE to celebrate the centenary of JJ Thomson’s discovery of the electron,
“because JJ Thomson told me about it”, as he told me, published on cattq in the IEE, http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/y7aiee.htm
; http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x5bu.htm There has also been my four hour
lecture in Newcastle University. http://async.org.uk/IvorCatt+DavidWalton.html
, which included cattq. It would be so much better for all of us if you
could organise something positive between me and the IEE/IET. One of many
possibilities is that you choose your leading expert on electromagnetic
theory and put him in touch with me. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/cattq.htm
. Twenty-five years ago your predecessor chose Professor Secker, who
withdrew, claiming a lack of sufficient expertise for cattq
http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/28anom.htm
, although the matter is very simple. “Secker wrote on 26oct95; ‘I should
explain that I am no expert in the area to which the 'Catt Anomaly' [cattq] refers....’. He repeated this claim on 19dec95.” I would dearly love the first full
disclosure of “Theory D”. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/d.htm
to be by the IET, in my home
country, bringing electromagnetic theory into the digital age. http://www.ivorcatt.org/digital-hardware-design.htm
Royal Society on Catt. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/yak.htm
“that there is no such a thing as a static electric field in a capacitor.” IEEE on “The Catt Question”. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x311a.htm There has also been my four hour lecture in Newcastle
University. http://async.org.uk/IvorCatt+DavidWalton.html
, which included cattq. “There
is an edited version of Ivor Catt's talk covering just the 'The Wakefield
Experiment' and 'The Catt Question' which is 20 minutes long available here.” Yours sincerely, Ivor Catt Note 1. Admittedly once, in an IEE journal Dettmer
did publish commentary on “Catt Spiral”, the product called “Wafer Stack”
after it had come to market with acclaim.
Apart from that, the IEE always refused to publish any commentary on
the company Clive Sinclair set up, called “Anamartic”,
to develop the Catt invention, the only successful approach to WSI. (Other
unsuccessful attempts absorbed more than $100 million.) http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/spectator.htm http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/3043/Anamartic-Wafer-Scale-160MB-Solid-State-Disk/

Further copy sent slomail to Chief Executive IEE on 6aug03. Also cc Roger Dettmer, IEE. To Dr Alf Roberts BSc PhD Ceng FIEE FInstP, Chief Executive of the
IEE, IEE, Savoy Place, London WC2R 0BL Every decade or so I
approach IEE luminaries and ask them to resolve the problem called “The Catt
Anomaly”, more properly called “The Catt Question”. This is a rudimentary
question in classical electrodynamics which the IEE said came within its
responsibility, see Secker in the first part of p11 of the book The Catt Anomaly, shelf number 537.8CAT
in the IEE library. It can also be found on the www at www.ivorcatt.com/28anom.htm It is by now clear that
the IEE lacks technical competence in this field, and also that it lacks access
to technical competence in the field of classical electrodynamics. However, a
duty remains, to convene a conference, as proposed on p55 et seqq. of the
same book. There was no reply from the IEE to the 1995 Hock letter. I look forward to your
reply. 8nov02 Ivor Catt 121 Westfields, St. Albans AL3 4JR, England |

Mr Ivor Catt 121 Westfields St Albans AL3 4JR 28 August 2003 Dear Mr Catt Thank you for your recent letter. The IEE looked
into the Catt Anomaly problem some years ago and I do not believe it would be
an appropriate subject for a conference. [http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/91.htm

sincerely
