The Formation of the Radio Research Board
In 1920 the Department of Scientific
and Industrial Research formed the Radio research Board in order to
'Direct any research of a fundamental nature that may be required, and any
investigation having a civilian as well as a military interest'.
The first board was chaired by the Admiral of the Fleet Sir Henry Jackson and had some very influential members
such as Lord Rutherford.
The board oversaw several sub committees whose membership included other
famous scientists such as E. V. Appleton and
R. A. Watson-Watt.
