There was something on the news about fax machines that instantly brought to mind that day in 1984 when I first heard the word. I had no idea what they were talking about. It was the launch meeting for a new shopping centre that my company had secured in Ipswich. (My post in October 2014 called "A Career in Construction Part 18".
I can still hear those words from the lead architect who told us "You are going to have a fax machine on site". It wasn't a question. I'm not sure if any member of our team knew what he was talking about. I certainly did not. But over the next few months and years they were an essential piece of equipment on every construction site. Now relegated to a piece of history.
