By Michael Geselowitz, Ph.D.

With the hiring of Dr. Alexander Magoun asOutreach Historian (see page 4), the staff ofthe IEEE History Center is up to full force tocarry out the various activities that are part ofour mission to preserve and disseminateknowledge about the heritage of IEEE, itsmembers, their professions, and—especially—the IEEE-designated technological fields thatbuilt the modern world. And, as you will seefrom this issue our newsletter, what a year forthose activities 2012 is shaping up to be!

The Milestones program continues togrow strongly (see page 7). As always, youcan learn about new and former Milestones

on the IEEE Global History Network (GHN).2012 IEEE President Gordon Day, based onhis experiences as President-Elect last year,has expressed particular interest in attendingMilestone dedications. He has also expressedsatisfaction that he is the 50th IEEE president,since 1 January 2013 will be the 50th an-niversary of the formation of IEEE from themerger of AIEE (founded 1884) and IRE(1912). Although we date IEEE’s origins tothose of the AIEE, the oldest predecessor or-ganization, you can look for some interestinginstitutional history items over the course ofthe year. Relatedly, 2012 is the Centennial ofProceedings of the IEEE, since it was the di-rect successor to Proceedings of the IRE. Be

sure to catch our special series of historical articles we arepreparing for Proceedings.

The Oral History program is doing fine as well. This year,we will be focusing on working with the IEEE ElectromagneticCompatibility Society (EMC) on shoring up our collection intheir technical area. This work is funded in part by a generousgift from Don Heirman, a past EMC president. In the process,we will also be working with EMC to pilot ways that IEEE soci-eties and other organizational units can best take advantage ofthe archive platform on the GHN in order to preserve their pa-pers and those of their past officers.

Also strong is our reputation as the go-to clearinghouse forinformation on the history of electrical, electronic and computertechnologies. Most of these reference requests concern edu-cation, either formal or informal. Besides students, scholars,authors and journalists, documentarians have been increasinglyturning to us (see page 6). And in addition to helping othersget the word out, our own program of e-books is also growing.

We are expanding our pre-university activities this year.With our partner Rutgers University, we are giving a series ofworkshops to high school social studies teachers to help themintegrate history of technology into their courses. In return, theywill assist us in developing curricular material to be made avail-able worldwide through the education portal on the GHN.

The newest and potentially most important developmentin 2012 lies in the realm of undergraduate university education.The History Center has long been involved in this area throughits partnerships with Rutgers and, more recently, the University

of California, Merced. Now, the History Center, under the guid-ance of the IEEE History Committee and its new chair Lyle Feisel(see page 4), has received a seed grant from the IEEE NewInitiatives Committee to do a market study to see if IEEE shouldbe in the business of supplying to universities on-line coursesin the history of engineering and technology.

Such distance learning is a major global trend in highereducation, and we are uniquely positioned to play a role in thearea of history of technology. IEEE could serve the professionby helping engineering schools, departments and instituteswho lack the resources to satisfy accreditation requirements forengineering students to understand the social context of theirendeavors. At the same time, such program could serve as asource of revenue for the History Center and as a modelfor other IEEE organizational units (as the GHN has been inthe wiki field). In addition, one could imagine lectures pre-pared for such courses re-purposed for the pre-university andmember continuing education audiences. Stay tuned for moredevelopments.

None of these activities would be possible, or course, with-out the assistance of you, our loyal donors. The March newslet-ter represents our annual opportunity to thank you allcollectively—and once again individually (through the publica-tion of our Honor Roll of Donors)—for your support. We aregratified in the faith this shows in our programs, and I urge youto continue to generously to continue to help us carry our im-portant mission.

HISTORY COMMITTEE CHAIR LYLE FEISEL

By Dr. Jacob Baal-Schem, IEEE History Committee member andmember of HISTELCON 2012 Committee

The series of HISTory of ELectrotechnology CONferences wasoriginally launched in 2008 by IEEE Region 8 in Paris, France,with an audience of about sixty persons and forty-seven presen-tations, mainly on the history of modern telecommunications.This conference was held on 11-12 September 2008 and was or-ganized and co-chaired by the late Jean-Claude Boudenot. It wasfollowed in 2010 by HISTELCON 2010, dedicated to "A Century ofBroadcasting" and organized by the IEEE Spain Section (assistedby the Telefonica company) held on 3-5 November 2010 inMadrid, headed by Conference Chair, Olga Pérez Sanjuán, of AEIT,Spain, and Technical Program Chair, Antonio Pérez Yuste, ofUPM, Spain. Out of eighty-five technical papers received, sixty pa-pers were presented during twelve sessions to an attendance ofone hundred and twenty participants.

For 2012, HISTELCON has joined forces with the IEEE His-tory Committee and History Center , to organize a joined eventin Pavia, Italy, on 5-8 September 2012.

The theme for HISTELCON 2012, "The origins of elec-

trotechnologies," relates specifically to the site of the confer-ence - the University of Pavia and the Museum of ElectricalTechnology - where Alessandro Volta was a Professor for 35years. Professor Antonio Savini, Chairman of the Conferenceand Professor Brian Bowers, Chair of the Technical ProgramCommittee, intend to present a comprehensive view of the ori-gins and early developments of technologies, milestones intheir histories, and the scientists and technologists who con-tributed to their development. Holding presentations in the Mu-seum will provide the perfect environment to discuss ways forthe presentation and illustration of scientific items to the gen-eral public. An International Program Committee will strive tobring a plethora of views to participants of different back-grounds – engineers, historians, museum curators, etc. This in-tended mix of audience has resulted in the past, and will resultagain, in an interesting exchange of views towards the en-largement of the visibility of science and engineering to public.

This special meeting in Pavia will certainly be of interestto participants who are invited to visit the websitewww.histelcon2012.org or contact the Conference secretariatinfo@histelcon2012.org

CENTER ACTIVITIES

The IEEE Archives, one of the core functions of the History Cen-ter, holds a variety of treasures documenting the history of IEEEand its predecessor organizations: the American Institute ofElectrical Engineers (AIEE) and the Institute of Radio Engineers(IRE). One of the most interesting, not to mention unique, itemsis the four-page program for the 1902 AIEE Annual Dinner. Theprogram lists the speakers. It gives the extensive menu of thecourses and dishes to be served, an array far more elaboratethan would likely be served today. One notable item on themenu is the intriguing and appropriately named “potage elec-trolytique” It has a cover picture of the guest of honor—theItalian/British radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi. But whatmakes it a true gem is that the program is autographed, andnot just by Marconi, but by a who’s who of giants of the earlyyears of our fields—Charles Steinmetz, of General Electric andelectrical theory fame; Alexander Graham Bell, telephone in-ventor; Elihu Thomson, electric light inventor and co-founder ofone of the two predecessor companies to GE; Frank Sprague,pioneer of the first electric streetcar; Michael Pupin, inventor ofthe loading coil. All except Pupin served as president of theAIEE; Steinmetz was the incumbent. In addition to these men,there is a signature on the lower right that the staff of the His-tory Center has been unable to identify. If anyone reading thisnote can identify this mystery engineer, please let the HistoryCenter know. www.ieeeghn.org/wiki/images/c/c5/Annual

FIRST HAND HISTORIES

Recently submitted are five first hand histories: two by AnthonyJ. Iacono and three by Russell E. Theisen. Iacono’s two accountsrelate to the work that he performed on aircraft, which includehis solving a problem related to the Fuel Quantity System onthe A6E aircraft, and a brief anecdote about Iacono's work dur-ing a particularly hot scenario while performing an EMC Safetyof Flight Test.

Theisen worked for IBM during 1963 and 1964 and hisfirst-hand accounts discuss his role in the development of theIBM 360-20, his suggestion for a “cookbook” list of replacementparts for IBM machines that need to be serviced, and his use ofan oscilloscope to solve a problem with excessive noise in datatransmission.

RAISING THE vISIBILITY OF IEEE’S PROFESSIONS:THE HISTORY CENTER AdvISES ON dOCUMENTARIES

As mentioned in the November 2011 History Center newsletter,the IEEE History Center frequently advises documentary filmmak-ers all over the world, thus helping to bring the heritage of elec-trical engineering and computing to national and internationalaudiences and raising the visibility of IEEE’s fields of interest. His-tory Center staff advised Lion Television, an award-winning filmcompany, on a documentary about the grid— a portion of thefour-part series “America Revealed“—which will air on the PublicBroadcasting Network on 11 April at 10:00 pm. The series por-trays, the movements and communications that miraculouslycome together to manufacture goods, transport people and ma-terials, grow tons of food, and power our society.

In November 2011, Darlow Smithson Productions, London,England, requested permission to use audio clips from the History

Center’s oral history of Norman Ramsey—known for his develop-ment of the separated oscillatory field method of measurementand for his work in magnetic resonance—in a documentary Dar-low Smithson is producing for National Geographic.

Italy’s national public broadcasting service, the RAI, isusing video and still images of Carl Hammer, a Sperry-Univacexecutive and computer pioneer, for a documentary it isproducing on the Beale Code.

LARSON COLLECTION VIDEOS

In the 1980s and early 1990s, after his retirement, Dr. ClarenceE. Larson conducted video interviews with some four dozen ofhis fellow pioneers in atomic energy and tangential fields,which were taped by his wife Jane Larson. Recently the IEEEHistory Center has posted two more of the interviews on theGlobal History Network. These interviews are with DavidPackard, co-founder of Hewlett Packard and U.S. Deputy Sec-retary of Defense from 1969 to 1971, and Bertrand Gold-schmidt, the last surviving French participant in the wartimedevelopment of nuclear energy, and personal assistant to MarieCurie.

Issue 88 March 2012MILESTONES

by David Walden, Corresponding Member, IEEE History Committee

In 1971 Jim Forgie of MIT Lincoln Laboratory did experimentswith the two-year old ARPANET that showed the feasibility ofsending speech over that first packet-switching network. At thetime, in the context of traditional dial-up full-duplex telephonecommunications, many people doubted that packetizedspeech, in which packets flow over varying network paths withvarying time delays, could work. In 1974 the Advanced Re-search Projects Agency (ARPA) began a multi-institution packetspeech program, lasting through 1982, that firmly demonstratedthe utility of packet speech. This was the initiating technologyof what we know today as Voice over IP and capabilities suchas Vonage and Skype.

On 8 December 2011, a Milestone was dedicated at MITLincoln Laboratory, which had been the central player in theARPA packet speech program. The plaque citation reads:

First Real-Time Speech Communication on PacketNetworks, 1974-1982 In August 1974, the first real-time speech communication over a packet-switchednetwork was demonstrated via the ARPANET betweenMIT Lincoln Laboratory and USC Information SciencesInstitute. By 1982, these technologies enabled Inter-net packet speech and conferencing linking terrestrial,packet radio, and satellite networks. This work in real-time network protocols and speech coding laid thefoundation for voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) com-munications and related applications including Internetvideo conferencing.

This IEEE Milestone in packetized speech was sponsoredby IEEE Signal Processing Society and the Boston section ofIEEE. The public dedication was attended by more than onehundred people including many of the 1974-1982 participants,several of whom came from across the country. Welcomeswere given by Karen Panetta, IEEE Boston Section Chair;Mostafa Kaveh, IEEE Signal Processing Society President; and EricEvans, director of MIT Lincoln Laboratory.

Cliff Weinstein, leader of Lincoln Laboratory’s HumanLanguage Technology group and himself a key member of the1974-1982 research, sketched the history of the effort, from JimForgie’s early feasibility study; through the milestone years; and toBob Gray’s July 2005 paper in the IEEE Signal Processing Maga-zinewhich brought the 1974-1982 work to the attention of a 21stcentury audience. Weinstein emphasized the multi-institutionalcomposition of the research effort: you need people at otherlocations to demonstrate long distance, packetized two-persontelephone conversations and teleconferencing. In addition, thedifferent institutions had different computers and end-user equip-ment and helped develop the necessary network protocols en-abling communication among varied devices. Cliff also played anaudio tape from May 1978 of an early demonstration of a voiceconference among the Lincoln Laboratory in Massachusetts andUSC Information Sciences Institute and Culler-Harrison Inc., bothin southern California. Bob Kahn, ARPA program manager whenthe packet speech project was initiated, was the keynote speaker.He too emphasized how many people from how many placesparticipated in the program. He also noted that part of his pur-pose in creating the speech programwas to show the importanceof packet technology. The ARPANET had been created to demon-strate packet switching, and it could transmit data of many types.Bob described changes that had to be made to the internalARPANET algorithms and its external interface to allow high band-width, low-delay speech. Also, TCP (which originally containedboth the TCP and IP functions) was split into TCP and IP whichenabled applications such as packet speech (and its protocols)to communicate directly with IP. A goal was 1Kbps speech at atime when 4.8Kbps or 2.4Kbps speech were regarding as mini-mums. This goal was reached, partly because packet speech didnot require a full duplex connection (saving 50 percentimmediately) and packets did not have to be sent during silences,etc., saving an additional significant percentage. Finally, Bob notedthat there are still possibilities for improving the way speech istransmitted over the Internet, and he envisions a time whenspeech may be the primary user interface to computers.

The formal session ended with Peter Staecker, 2013 IEEEpresident, and Eric Evans, director of Lincoln Laboratory unveilingthe plaque and handing out miniature versions of the plaque toparticipants in the 1972-1984 research.

ARTEFACTS is an international network of academic and mu-seum-based scholars of science, technology and medicine in-terested in promoting the use of objects in research. The nextconference will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, 7–9 October2012, at the award-winning refurbished National Museum ofScotland. The Scottish government aims to hold a referendumon national independence and the theme of the conferenceechoes this issue. It aims to discuss national styles and identity,and scientific, technical and medical artefacts in a global con-text. Topics cover questions such as:

- Between inventors and the nation: who makes and ownsartefacts?

- Do artefacts embody national styles or distinct communitiesof practice?

- Do artefacts reflect particular national attitudes on the rela-tionship between science and technology?

- Do artefacts act as signifiers of nationhood and how are theyenlisted in the construction of nationalist agendas?

- National, international or local: how do museums aim at au-diences through artefact’s stories?

ARTEFACTS conferences are friendly and informal meetings withthe character of workshops. Each contributor is allocated a 20minutes slot plus time for questions and discussion. ContactKlaus Staubermann at k.staubermann@nms.ac.uk by 30 April2012. Please remember that the focus of presentations shouldbe on artefacts.

The renovation includes a comprehensiveexhibit on the history and significance of Menlo Park, and hasaddressed Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.

The site is an IEEE Milestone in Electrical Engineering andComputing, bearing a plaque with the citation:

Between 1876 and 1882 at Menlo Park, New Jersey, ThomasEdison developed the world’s first industrial research and de-velopment laboratory devoted to developing new technol-ogy. At this laboratory, Edison and his staff developed thefirst system of incandescent electric lighting and electricpower generation, invented recorded sound and produced acommercially successful telephone transmitter.

The Museum is at 37 Christie Street, Edison Township, NJ, U.S.A.The renovation is a joint effort by the non-profit EdisonMemorial Tower Corporation (EMTC), the Township of Edison,and the State of New Jersey. www.menloparkmuseum.org,info@menloparkmuseum.org or 732-494-4194.

EdISON MENLO PARK SITETO REOPEN

In commemoration of its twentieth anniversary, the HistoryCommittee of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ)held a ceremony on 25 October 2011 in Tokyo, Japan. Aboutforty distinguished guests attended, and many messages fromother institutions – beginning with a letter from the IEEE HistoryCommittee and the IEEE History Center --were introduced. Dur-ing the ceremony, the attendees shared the memories of thecommittee’s activities in the past twenty years, such as data-base construction, the giving of awards, oral history collection,and the Maui Meetings between IEEE and IEEJ.

At the end of the ceremony, the chairman expressed his de-termination to activate additional activities and to continue themission of promoting electric technology literacy to the public.

TWENTIETH ANNIvERSARY CELEBRATIONS OF THE IEEJHISTORY COMMITTEE

The Society for the History of Technology has awarded Jon R. Lind-say the 2011 IEEE Life Members’ Prize Paper Award for his paper,"War Upon the Map: User Innovation in American Military Soft-ware," which appeared in the July 2010 edition of Journal of Tech-nology and Culture. Lindsay has researched andwritten extensivelyon the use of technology and information by the military.

The IEEE Life Members' Prize in Electrical History was es-tablished by the IEEE Life Members, who fund the prize, and is

administered by the Society for the History of Technology. Theprize recognizes the best paper in electrical history publishedduring the previous year. Any historical paper published in alearned journal or magazine is eligible if it treats the art or en-gineering aspects of electrotechnology and its practitioners.Electrotechnology encompasses power, electronics, telecom-munications, and computer science. The prize consists of a cashaward of $500 and a certificate.

HUNT, BRUCE J.Pursuing Power and Light: Technology and Physicsfrom James Watt to Albert Einstein, Johns HopkinsUniversity Press, 2010

Bruce Hunt's Pursuing Power and Lightconcerns the history of technology andthe history of physics from the late 18thcentury into the 20th century. In somehistorical periods, technology and naturalphilosophy, or science as it becameknown, followed largely separate courses.But, as this book makes clear, in the 19thcentury the most important advances intechnology and the most important ad-vances in physics were closely related.

The book begins with a chapter on thesteam engine and the birth of thermodynamics. There follow twochapters on energy, entropy, and kinetic theory. The fourth chap-ter deals with early investigations of electricity and its applicationin telegraphy. The next chapter concerns electromagnetism andculminates in the theoretical work of James Maxwell and thedemonstration of electromagnetic waves by Heinrich Hertz. Elec-tric power and light, especially the work of Thomas Edison, is thesubject of the sixth chapter. The final chapter, called "Into a NewCentury", presents some topics, including the discovery of the elec-tron and of radioactivity, that became extremely important in the20th century.

Bruce J. Hunt, who is on the faculty at the University of Texasat Austin, has done a great deal of work on the relationship be-tween science and technology in the 19th century. The book is inthe Johns Hopkins Introductory Series in the History of Science. Itis abundantly illustrated, and there is an eight-page appendix onsuggestions for further reading.
