[NJARC] The Great Inventions in Central New Jersey

[amagoun]

I apologize for the short notice, but that's the way this event was
organized.  I'm hoping we can do something similar at the next open
house/repair clinic:

This Saturday, November 12, from noon to 2:30 in the Sarnoff Corporation
Auditorium, we will host "The Great Inventions in Central New Jersey"
for the Princeton-Central Jersey section of the Institute of Electronic
and Electrical Engineers (IEEE).

Jack Stanley, Director of Edison Museum at Menlo Park will describe and
demonstrate some of Thomas Edison's inventions created at his first, and
most significant invention factory, including the phonograph.

Alex Magoun , Director of David Sarnoff Library will give an illustrated
lecture on "The RCA Origins of Everyday Things": color TV, video
displays, video cameras, semiconductors, and computers.  The David
Sarnoff Library will also be open to tours showing many of the
technologies seen and discussed on-screen.

David Hochfelder, Thomas Alva Edison Papers, will lead a walk through
the IEEE History Center's online museum and the wonderful store of
documents online at the Edison Papers website.

Thanks to the sponsoring local chapter of the IEEE, there will be
refreshments, but you should RSVP to pcjs.event at ieee.org  to ensure
there is food for all.  Please put “RSVP INVENTIONS” in the subject.
