Abstract
The earliest of these contains 21 interviews conducted by members of the IEEE History Committee from 1973 to 1976. Frank Polkinghorn, retired from Bell Laboratories, did most of the interviews, which were supported by the IEEE Life Mem¬ ber Fund. The collection is rich in material on Bell Labs and early radio. Among those interviewed from Bell Labs are Rus¬ sell S. Ohl on semiconductor research in the 1930's, Warren P. Mason on quartz crystals and filters, and Arthur C. Keller on sound reproduction. Radio pioneers include Lloyd Espenschied of AT&T, Edwin Lee White of the Federal Radio Com¬ mission, and Leonard Fuller of the Federal Telegraph Co. Ex¬ ecutives Frank W. Godsey of Westinghouse and Julian Z. Millar of Western Union were interviewed, and there is also a 1968 discussion with Harold Beverage and H. 0. Peterson on their antenna research for RCA.
