Extract

With the generous permission of Smiths Industries research is now being undertaken within the Department of Maritime Studies at the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology, under the supervision of Captain C. H. Cotter. This has led to a study of information theory and its interesting links with entropy; information, as a result of work done, reduces randomness and introduces orderliness just as, in another context, housework reduces random dust and introduces cleanliness.
