This user originated the Article "Telectronics" with the objective of preserving the history of an important contribution made to medical technology by a small group of Australians who, each in their way, contributed to the whole. Repeated changes to the Article and the Discussion have been made by a singular person seeking to glorify his late father, co-founder of Telectronics, while demeaning the contribution of others; particularly Jeffcoat & Nicks.Geoffrey Wickham 03:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC) |
Last edited at 03:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC). Substituted at 07:46, 30 April 2016 (UTC) The article on Telectronics is incomplete without acknowledging contributions made by its founding chairman and managing director Noel Gray. He was the only person at the company since inception with the education in medicine and electronics necessary to understand his industry. With such an education and background in the radio and television industry his brain was full of ideas to start a medical device industry for Australia and contribute to technical design of electronic equipment to diagnose and treat human ailments. He set the Aims and Objects for the company not Paul trainor Geoff Wickham or Keith Jeffcoat. Sadly his colleagues Mr Trainor, Mr Wickham, and Mr Jeffcoat, have failed to acknowledge his contribution by providing false information about the history of Telectronics to the media. Their motives vary, Mr Trainor passed himself off to the Government and investors as the father of the medical device industry to help hime persuade the Government to give his companies grants and loans. In a video published on Engineers Australia internet site about Telectronics Mr Wickham claims all of the credit for the company's pacemakers with no mention of Noel Gray. Mr Jeffcoat claimed in a 1986 Australian Geographic magazine that he and Mr Wickham started Telectronics, and agin in Electronics Australia in 1983. The conspiracy to hide Noel Gray's contributions was further damaged when Noel is falsely called the 'administrator' of Telectronics and his patents on a leadless apical pacemaker are rubbished by a man calling himself a cardiac surgeon QRS on the archived comments page of this masthead. The real story will be available one day and you can correct the terrible injustice done here in publishing only one side to a complicated and contentious story. Noel Gray is a great Australian pioneer, not just in medical electronics, but also in the electronics industry with his patents on printed circuits taken out by the Phillips subsidiary Kreisler in June 1954. One Patents is number 208043. His first paper on pulsing circuits appeared in Technical section of Mingay's Electrical Weekly in January 1963.
