Why Is John Flavell Coales Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, John Flavell Coales CBE, FRS was a British physicist and engineer. He started the Borehamwood laboratory of the Elliott Brothers company in 1946. Coales graduated in 1929 from Sydney Sussex College, Cambridge and joined the British Admiralty, working in the experimental department of the Signal School, Portsmouth. He later worked on radio direction finding and centimeter-band radar used for naval gunnery. In 1946 he was awarded the OBE for his wartime work on naval radar. That year he left the Admiralty and became director of the Elliot Brothers research laboratory. Coales made significant contributions to automatic process control, and was a pioneer in the use of digital computers for real-time control. In 1957 he was a founder of the International Federation of Automatic Control.
