Descripción: A personal retrospective 1960s In1959 I half-passed my 11+ and went to a technical school in Kent. In 1964 I took O levels and in 1966, A levels in metalwork and technical drawing. These examinations were unimaginatively constructed – amounting to tests of theoretical knowledge (theory paper) and practical skills (the practical). I was good at them. During and after the war, my teachers had been responsible for setting up production lines in the school – manufacturing parts for the ships being maintained in Chatham dockyard. They knew about precision, we had lots of practice and we ended up pretty capable draughtsmen/craftsmen (it was of course a boys school). I went to Goldsmiths to train as a handicraft teacher, and I was seriously shaken up to discover designing. I was used to being given engineering drawings of tool clamps and drilling jigs that I just had to make. Designing things for myself was a revelation. I did not at first enjoy it. I wanted just to revel in my skills that were better than the norm in the first year group because of the experience and facilities to which I had been used at school.
