Obituary – Dr Henryk Chrostowski
Sadly, CETOP has announced the death of Dr Henryk Chrostowki who was President of the Association of Polish Mechanical Engieers and Technicians (SIMP). Dr Chrostowski was an enthusiastic CETOP supporter and champion of fluid systems and controls. He will be sorely missed by CETOP and those who knew him.
