[GreenKeys] Bell Labs - True Innovation

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

thanks  for  sharing that...   John  Mayo!  .... John saved the Telstar 
experiment  by devising  special commands to  make it  turn back on  after 
damage from  the   radiation  for the start from starfish prime experiment  
nuclear blast  that proceed  it's  launch... (see Gene  O'Niell's  letter to me)

 WOW! even   the  photo of the P1 rural  carrier system  with the  first 
revision of Bell Solar  Batteries   this was the  first  'real work'  the 
solar  battery was  put to.
 
OK...
 
now  for a completely different  Bell Labs  song!
it was  done  early...   
 
click the link below to hear Walter Brown  sing it!
This seems to be a shorter version than the one  Jim Early  played  for me 
on time over the phone... in that one I  remember  a line that predicted Ian 
 Ross's  ascent to the presidency  of  BTL. I will have  to hunt this  down.

"Hell's Bells Laboratory" 
by Ian  Mackentosh   


"We've traveled a long way to bring  you this song,
A brand new calypso we're sure to get wrong,
About  the reform school to which we belong,
It's the Hell's Bells  Laboratory. 
It's the Hell's bells and buckets of  blood at the Hell's Bells Laboratory. 
 
Our silicon's grown at low  temperature,
The crystals resulting are not very pure,
We preserve  all our lifetimes by using manure at the Hell's Bells 
Laboratory.  
It's the Hell's bells and buckets of  blood at the Hell's Bells Laboratory. 
 
Publication of papers will help your  career,
Promotions assured if you write twenty a year,
They are used  in the washroom of the chief engineer at the Hell's Bells  
Laboratory.  
It's the Hell's bells and buckets of  blood at the Hell's Bells Laboratory. 
 
The economy squeezes pinch more every  day,
Coffee and tea breaks have been taken away,
They are hoping to  make the transistor pay at the Hell's Bells Laboratory. 
 
It's the Hell's bells and buckets of  blood at the Hell's Bells Laboratory. 
 
Our walls are all graced by the periodic  chart,
Bill Shockley's picture is sewn over our  hearts,
Bardeen  and Brattain are our sweethearts at the  Hells Bells Laboratory.  
It's the Hell's bells and buckets of  blood at the Hell's Bells Laboratory. 
 
Dislocations and traps are the bane of  our life,
Imperfections can cause you trouble and strife,
But we  pick them all out with our scout master's knife at the Hell's Bells 
 Laboratory.  
It's the Hell's bells and buckets of  blood at the Hell's Bells 
Laboratory."
