<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white;">Invitation to contributors: The work on researching and publishing this history of The Industrial Gas Turbine continues. Contributors are cordially invited to make further comments and provide additional contributions to add to the industrial gas turbine archive. Any comments on the listing of gas turbines will be appreciated. Recollections of earlier times are welcomed as together we can add to the background of the gas turbine development and the people involved. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
</span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white;">One supporter has sent the author a copy of Practical Mechanics from May </span><span style="background-color: white;">1946. This has an article on the development of the aircraft jet engine. Perhaps you have documents or photos that you would like to contribute to the archive. Send in anything you think will help. </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">During 2011 the Author started preparation of a comprehensive history of the development of the Industrial Gas Turbine covering the first 70 years in the progress of the gas turbine for land based, industrial and marine applications. The history of more than 80 engineering companies is included. This story started around 1940 when, following the success of Brown Boveri and the Whittle aircraft engine, with UK governmental support, during the 1940's, a number of British companies enthusiastically entered the race to exploit the concept of the gas turbine for power generation, propulsion and other purposes. The companies involved included British, European, US, Japanese and others. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br />
</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">This has proved to be a really an exciting story and one which turned out to be a race with many challengers. The work of the early Pioneers has also been reviewed and so far more than 26 individual pioneer contributions leading to the success of the industrial gas turbine have been identified. This historical account, being more than being simply a historical account, has been a collaboration of many individuals all of whom have willingly shared their experiences, knowledge, information and advice. The written account gives due recognition to all these contributors. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br />
</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Several different technological approaches as well as progress in gas turbine operational conditions and performance development have been reviewed. The many different applications of the industrial gas turbine have been researched including power generation, mechanical drive, marine propulsion, road transport, locomotive engines and others. The different types of fuels used in the industrial gas turbine are mentioned. Research Institutions have been listed as well as listing a number of notable gas turbine installations being described for this period of the industrial gas turbine story. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br />
</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">In preparing the history, in addition to the contributions by all the Contributors, the Author has drawn on the archives of professional institutions, historical documents, and a number of other sources. An extensive list of references is has been provided with the history. </span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Part 1 was published in the Power Engineer in 2011 </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Part II was published in the Power Engineer in 2018 and cover the following 25 years (1990-2017) bringing the industrial gas turbine story up to its current advanced state of development and a view of the future. This is a story that continues with present day designers striving to reach ever increasing targets of performance, higher operating conditions and increasing flexibility of operation.</span><br />
