Mirlees Blackstone Diesels

Gavin Rattray Worked in the technical publications department where he was trained as technical author by the department manager, in all aspects of the work, including:

• Creating vendor manual indexes; sourcing and collating vendor manuals
• Using drawings, short hand build instructions and witnessing engine builds, to write operation, maintenance and service instructions for very large medium and high speed diesel engines

Gavin Rattray, Director at Full Stop Ltd said “I was extremely fortunate to be trained within an extremely well run traditional technical publications department, just as it was making the transition from purely paper based manual production by introducing Interleaf, which was at the time the most sophisticated desktop publishing system available”.
