Historically interesting in that the leading members of the College were listed in the group. An MS file is included on the JVM Archival Media disc, as well as a hard-copy printout. The MS file name is: 1952_02_29_PRESS-CITIZEN_EFL St. Louis_ORG.doc

This is probably one of the earliest, if not the earliest newspaper articles about Dr. E. F. Lindquist's 'Electronic Brain' being installed at the State University of Iowa. The headline in the Daily Iowan reads, "SUI Installation On 'Electronic Brain'. The Original Copy of the Daily Iowan Newspaper showing this article (mounted in a poster) was covered in the JVM 2006/10/06 material, as well as in a folder on the accompanying DVD entitled: 1953_11_01_CR GAZETTE_MRC Electronic Brain Report. This folder is repeated on the current JVM Archival Media Disc, and additionally, an MS File prepared by JVM is provided here in hard-copy form. 1953_11_01_CR GAZETTE Article_SUI Electronic Brain_ORG2. This 2-page printout provides a text transcription of the original article, and also contains embedded JPEG-scanned images that were in the original article

This Ames, Iowa newspaper article, I believe, is a 'new discovery' for most older Iowa City residents, if indeed not all, who may possibly recall the preceding and following news items that appeared in the local Iowa City papers over a half-century ago - the Original Copies of which I have donated in an earlier accession to the U of I Library. I recently 'discovered' this news item with an online paid-subscription search tool, and have downloaded the full-page image in JPEG format into a folder, 1953_11_02_AMES DAILY TRIBUNE, on the enclosed JVM Archival Media disc, together with the extracted clip of the article with the above name, and additionally, prepared an MS Word File with a complete transcription of the text of the article. 1953_11_02_AMES DAILY TRIBUNE_EFL 'Electronic Brain'_ORG. The article provides a comprehensive summary of the invited paper that E. F. Lindquist presented in NYC, 31 OCT 1953

The Daily Iowan followed a day later with its version of Dr. E. F. Lindquist's 'Electronic Brain' being installed at SUI. The DI headline reads, "SUI Installation Starts On 'Electronic Brain'". The first Accession to the U of I from my collection included a poster-mounted Original Copy of this article, and later, a companion DVD containing the JPEG-scanned images in the original article. In the current set of JVM Accession Items, a hard-copy printout of my MS Word file 1953_11_03_SUI Installs Electronic Brain_ORG2 is included from the folder 1953_11_03_SUI Installs Electronic Brain in the current JVM Media Archival disc. This 6-page document contains the transcription of the original article's text, JPEG-scanned embedded photos of all of the photos in the original article

This is an early article giving the reading public a report on Dr. E. F. Lindquist's 'Electronic Brain', and its progress in having scored approximately one million answer sheets. My MS Word file is on the JVM Archival Media disc in this accession, in folder 1955_11_CR GAZETTE Article_Brain Report, and is titled 1955_11_CR Gazetter_Report on MRC Brain_ORG.doc. JPEG-images are included

Folder includes additional supporting documentation by John McMillin and Michael Beetner, who were both associated with the project. Contents received by the University Archives as Accession 2009-91

Letter written by E. F. Lindquist to the MRC Law firm in Washington, D. C. that handled all MRC applications for U. S. Patents, based upon Lindquist's, McMillin's, and other MRC staff members' inventions. The EFL letter included a 3-page technical description, dated 8/3/65. This invention, as described in Lindquist's letter, covers a concept for automatic detection of an OMR sheet side-registration position during scanning, and secondly, correcting/adjusting for any detected side-shift errors. Case File No. 14,173. The original R/D investigation/conceptualizing activity began July 14, 1965 (see the cross-reference shown earlier in this list) by Lindquist and McMillin: refer to my 16-page handwritten document, dated 7-14-65, including drawings and sketches, also attached. The same document contains witness signatures dated 15 July 1965 by George E. Carsner, and Thomas B. Jacob, MRC Engineers, with the notation "Invented by E. F. Lindquist and John V. McMillin"
