Book editors A. Michael Noll and Michael N. Geselowitz will talk about their book “Bell Labs Memoirs: Voices of Innovation.”

Their book consists of biographical and autobiographical portraits of twelve people who worked at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ during the 1960s. The people presented include a glass blower, a limousine driver, a patent attorney, research vice president, and scientists. The counties represented range from the United States to England, India, and Germany.

One objective of the book is to tell the story of Bell Telephone Laboratories through the lives of a representative group of people who actually worked there. Another objective of the book is to honor the memory of William O. Baker who headed the research organization at Bell Telephone Laboratories from 1955 to 1973 – a period some consider the “golden years” of Bell Labs. They will also discuss the fate of Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc. (1925-1984), the innovations produced there, and the factors that made the place so unique.

Advanced registration is required prior to October 24th for 30 only in order of receipt. A hard copy form can be requested from Ken Oexle at k.oexle@ieee.org.
