I remember my old days,I was a BE (E E) (our HOD was Dr.Sankar Sen-who taught me power plant) from one of the best in India. but not instrumentation knowledge at all.But I was adept to handle Transistors and IC. One of my supervisor(a technician type with matriculation and pr-university in science back ground)was given the job for imparting training to us. if see the movie "OFFICER AND GENTLEMAN".you may understand what I mean. Any way,I went to "Fox Mas" and further got trained for how to design and configure small,medium,and big,and biggest power plants.Trainer and mentor Dr.Charles Badavas. And I collected also whole foxboro application notes( kindly bestowed on me by gregory(Dr.Greg sinskey-we call him Einstein of Instrumentation) ranging from pressure gauge Bordon manufacturing to Foxboro I/A (at lab stage). This is the beginning - and at BELLS I learned and done My Job.with best effort,and built my career.as satisfying and through and through. Many small and big projects,in eastern India,and even for some time we took over Bangalore and made it the first electronic control system start up.if you care for the history of Instrumentation.
