Author: David P Howcroft
David Howcroft is a Fellow and Past President of the Society for Automation, Instrumentation, Measurement and Control in South Africa and Past Chairman of the Industrial Instrumentation Group.
Born in Cape Town during 1942, Dave grew up in Johannesburg, serendipitously in the lee of Northcliff, the highest outcrop of the uplifted Witwatersrand.
He matriculated at Roosevelt High School, studied electronics and television at PYE, Cambridge, and then automation and instrumentation at Witwatersrand Technical College.
He used his knowledge of megatronics for forty-seven years, thirty of which was as CEO of his own companies.
His sixty-five-year interest in Vredefort Impact Structure, the Bushveld Complex and the Great Dyke led him to believe that the geoscientists had made a fundamental error in their age measurements.
His book, Vredefort Structure - Unclothed Emperors, is the story of his search for the truth and the proof of his theory. Follow the link to learn more about the book.
