What are you looking for?
− I'm looking for information about Axel F Enström who founded IVA and became its first CEO in 1919.

What have you found?
− Enström was quite typical of that generation of successful engineers. I have found a lot of interesting material, including other people's descriptions of him and Enström's own papers where he writes about private matters such as his alcohol ration.

How will you use the material?

− The idea is to create a 50–60 page commemorative publication to be presented on October 24 next year.
