Ivor Teifenbraun was not then , nor has been since ... an engineer. His dad and Hamish Robertson worked together, NOT Ivor. He had a diploma or degree in marketing, which came in handy for his future career. A bigger liar than Tam Pepper He's done mair spins than the Hilltoon clock.I've read the diyaudio posts before. Even if they're all true, the main claim is that Ivor did some development work on the turntable. I don't find that implausible. There are also lots of nice anecdotes, but they're just anecdotes.
My understanding is Ivor was in Israel from 71 through to late 72 and apparently went there with the intention of taking citizenship so at that time was probably not interested in the manufacture of the turntable. The initial dispute was between Jack and Hamish. I doubt that Ivor was involved much if at all.
I have read that he returned to Glasgow late 72 when Jack was taken ill. This was after Gilad was born so probably final quarter 72 when I expect Ivor became involved in the dispute.
According to Wikipaedia, Ivor started a degree in mechanical engineering at Strathclyde but dropped out. It doesn't say how long he stuck it out. Maybe cre009 knows - he seems to have lots of info on Ivor's bio.Ivor Teifenbraun was not then , nor has been since ... an engineer. His dad and Hamish Robertson worked together, NOT Ivor.

I looked a few years ago specifically for that because Richard Dunn claimed Hamish met Ivor during Uni holidays but could not find any details about when Ivor dropped out when I last looked. Often new information pops up time to time but I do not have a pressing need to look again.According to Wikipaedia, Ivor started a degree in mechanical engineering at Strathclyde but dropped out.

It will certainly be available in the Official Journal. The problem is that the Official Journal online only goes back to 1998. Anything earlier will be in paper. Trouble is, it says that this is the extent of the holdings of the National Archive, so earlier publications may now be cat litter. However, the British Library seems to be the best bet.Thanks, but that's not what I meant. That's Barry Fox's words, his summary of the summary, as he himself puts it. I was wondering if the actual Patent Officer decision is available anywhere to be read?
