The description and discussion of the work of this Preamble would be incomplete without my expression of thanks to all those who have helped both in a practical way and by kindly and sympathetic interest to the final result. To Professor J.W. Tibble, of the Department of Education, the University of Leicester, I express my deepest gratitude for kindly assistance, friendly criticism, and constant encouragement, during the years I have been working under him. Engaged as I am building an Industrial Training Department in a large and busy undertaking, I have benefitted greatly from the discussions with Professor Tibble, both in 'standing back' from the problem and thereby viewing it on a more fundamental basis, and from the new heart that I received from such discussions to push a step farther along the road. Further, I am indebted to my company, Stewarts and Lloyds, Limited, and their Director of Education and Training, for the opportunity since 1946 to plan and build a modern industrial Education and Training Department at Corby Works. The experience I have gained has been of material assistance to me in all my work in the field covered both by this Preamble and the main work which follows. Finally, my thanks are due to members of my staff for the laborious work of transcribing my almost indecipherable notes and ultimately typing the final work. Ernest A. Taylor, January, 1961.
