About the Career :

Fermor was initially interested in continuing a career in metallurgy but was persuaded to apply to the Geological Survey of India by his professor, John Wesley Judd. T

he interview was by W. T. Blanford, then retired, and he was selected despite his expertise in chemistry rather than geology.
