My name is John King. I have been working as an instrument builder for more than 40 years, I have built various devices. The first major machine was an amino acid analyser using ion-exchange liquid chromatography. Next was a calorimeter to measure microbial metabolic activity in nearly natural surroundings. This was the basis of a NSF grant proposal. Rejected, as too difficult even though it was aleady built and generating data. And so on. I have worked with radio tracers, NMR, gas chromatography, FTIR, DSC etc. I'm pretty skilled in math models. (for instance, there is a question of comparing IR thermal emissions from a pyrex and quartz tube? I think I could do that in a few days.) I have built many electronic machines. I'm a skilled analog designer, For the last 30 years I have been designing fire and toxic gas detectors for the petrochemical industry.
