This is the story of how in 1954, on the tip of Africa, a young, eccentric genius invented a quick and cost effective way of measuring land, a feat that had been attempted for years at great expense by the major countries of the world without success. It describes how the strategic position of South Africa during World War 2 promoted the flowering of an electronics industry in a predominately mining and agricultural country, and how the largely unheralded work of the Special Signals Services in South Africa had to be kept secret even from its members. It is the story of how a dominant mother can damage a gifted child, and examines the criteria for the awarding of bursaries.
