Top ten analog engineers

This may help:

Not just to satisfy equal delays... match paths, I care not the absolute delay for this question.

It's a trick question (as if you didn't know ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I used Millman and Taub's "Pulse and Digital Circuits" text for EE379/380 at UIUC in '73. I should still have it around here somewhere. I think it was one of the few I didn't pitch in my last move.

Boeing.

But if you become known as the producer in your group, pretty soon people will figure out that the idiot son-in-law isn't actually doing his own work. That can be career limiting.

Hedy Lamarr?

If you are going to nominate people for fundamental principles, how about Murphy?

I had an uncle who worked for Boeing; when I was getting close to the end of college (mid '80's) I started gently working on him for a job there, and was gently but firmly rebuffed.

I thought he was suffering from hypertrophy of ethics (he probably could have gotten me in, even if I were the legendary idiot nephew). It wasn't until years later, after talking to ex-Boeing employees, that I realized he really was doing me a favor.

Only at the one company. I suppose if you're at the only company in town and you really don't want to move it can be a hassle.

Without wishing to detract from Blumlein's achievements, he must have been one of the most prolific inventors of his time in his field, I think that he would have been the first to point out that the first practical television system was the result of a various researches. Let's not forget the contributions of O. S. Puckle, Vladimir Zworykin, Philo T. Farnsworth, et al.

(I still have a copy of Puckle on timebases)

THAT'S HEDLEY!!!

I guess you meant Hedy Kiesler Markey?

-- "Electricity is of two kinds, positive and negative. The difference is, I presume, that one comes a little more expensive, but is more durable; the other is a cheaper thing, but the moths get into it." (Stephen Leacock)

Frank Murphy?

Typical of Bill. Where is the list ot ten worst analog engineers? Is he afraid that his name would be the first, followed by Lucas, then Madman Muntz?

The difference is that I don't think Muntz ever claimed to be an engineer... just a salesguy who was willing to cheapen up equipment if he thought there'd still be a market for it!

1. Bill Sloman
2. Always Wrong
3. D from BC
4. Jon Slaughter
5. Jamie Ka1lpa

But if I ever had the chance to hire one of Muntz' engineers I'd do it in a New York second. Anybody that can make one section of a dual triode be the RF amplifier, the sync separator, and the audio preamp all at the same time is a genius in my book.

This guy:

Probably used as much as Ohm's.

Sorry to put you to that trouble, I didn't intend my answer to be treated seriously. Frank Murphy founded Murphy Radio of Welwyn Garden City (UK) in 1930 and eventually sold out to the Rank Organisation - so there was an electronics connection.

When you realize that she had no formal technical training and what she knew, she picked up listening to her first husband when she was 19 years old, think of what she could have done had she actually trained and worked in the field.
