During the early 1960s, various publications referred to this era as "The Golden Age of Electronics", as Electronics Technology was in a state of rapid flux and transition from the former decades-old vacuum-tube era to the dawn of 'transistorized' circuitry, printed-circuit transistor modules, early computer-type logic, and similar solid-state products. My role at MRC as Project Engineer in those days was to 'attack' the old way of doing things, and begin to replace vacuum-tube modules of the first several MRC Test Scoring Machines (Dr. E. F. Lindquist's pioneering invention) with greatly improved, less expensive solid-state components and sub-systems. My opportunity to do this task en-mass came about in 1960-61 when Dr. Lindquist committed MRC Engineering resources to design and construct a specialized test-scoring machine for Professor John C. Flanagan's nation-wide Project Talent, requiring the processing of test sheets from 400,000 students. Shortly after this successful venture, two additional systems, with further solid-state design improvements, were designed and built for Science Research Associates (SRA), a Testing Organization in Chicago. Furthermore, the need for ongoing internal MRC improvements in OMR Test Scoring technology, as the business expanded rapidly, kept us on the 'cutting edge' of the new revolution in electronics during the 1960s, and beyond. During this period, I published several brief Technical Articles in the leading Electronics Trade Magazines of the day, and each publication is highlighted in the chronological list below. However, I have prepared an archival folder on the JVM Archival Media Disc, entitled: 1960s_GOLDEN AGE OF ELECTRONICS_JVM, which contains a 60-page MS Word file named 2007_01_09_The 1960s Golden Age of Electronics_JVM_ORG.doc, that further elaborates on this era, and includes a complete listing and review of the published articles referred to in the JVM U of I Accession items that follow in this document. This MS Word file, together with several other relevant documents, such as JVM correspondence with the respective magazine editors, copies of my original manuscripts and sketches, are presented as hard-copy printouts in a bound folder for this Accession Set. Additionally, a CD-ROM is in the back-page of the Folder Pocket, which contains all MS Word Files & JPEG-image files associated with this 'reflective view' of the "Golden Age of Electronics - 1960s". Hayden Book Company, the publisher of ELECTRONIC DESIGN, issued reprints in 1961 and 1962, covering the best "100 Ideas for Design", respectively, of the preceding years 1960 & 1961. I am including an Original Copy of each of these reprint soft-cover books in this JVM U of I Accession Set of materials. I had one of my 'Ideas for Design' published in each of these reprints. In 1964, Hayden Book Company published a hard-copy edition of their selected "400 Ideas for Design" reprints from several preceding years of ELECTRONIC DESIGN. Again, my two ideas published in 1960 & 1961, respectively, as mentioned above, were reprinted in this book, along with yet another of my "Ideas for Design", originally published in the January 18, 1963 Electronic Design
