Scope and Contents

Reminiscing: Keeping Mod 7 on the air and no Crash Landings! Background: In July 2003 the current progeny of MRC, Pearson's [http://www.pearson.com/] Iowa City facility celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the founding of Measurement Research Center (MRC). We 'old-timers' were invited to post online our reminisces about the 'early days', and I took the offer to heart, posting several recollections of my early days working with Bob Edberg, Dr. Lindquist (both deceased), and other long-time employees, several of whom attended this Iowa City event. With the assistance of George Carsner, BSEE, another long-term employee, I prepared a group of plaques/framed-posters for exhibit at the reunion and wrote several narratives, such as No. 38 above, this one, and the several to follow. The posters and several original hardware components have already been donated to the U of I archives, and the hard-copy narratives listed here are available in MS Word files on the DVD already donated to the U of I archives
