More about the ERL Staff

For some time I have wanted to present information about each member of the Electrical Research staff. Over the years I have tried to collect information about each person–I have more for those people I’ve known well, but the NCR Archive has begun to yield information about the entire staff. Please check back from time to time as this section will be a work in progress. I am beginning with a list based on the payroll information I found, and will attach information I’ve collected to each name, as time permits. If family members find this page, and want to send me more details, please contact me. I welcome your help.

These photos come from 2 different sources. None of them are in the public domain. For information concerning possible use, contact Debbie Anderson

Neumann, Anthony Nosil–if you are a friend or relative of any of these people, and would like to see them represented on this site, please feel free to contact Debbie Anderson

    • Stray Thoughts in the Information Age

      I chose to deal with the science of cryptography. Cryptography began in mathematics. Codes were developed, even from Caesar’s time, based on number theory and mathematical principles. I decided to use those principles and designed a work that is encoded.

    HIT A DEAD END?

    I ask that visitors be patient when links or pages disappear or become mangled in the vagaries of PHP and generated code. Frequent additions and updates make for human error — please report any broken links or other problems to Debbie Anderson, site manager–your help is appreciated.

    E-mails are still appreciated, and I will try to respond promptly. Your messages are what make this job worthwhile.
