NJDARM: Collection Guide NJDARM: Collection Guide - NEW JERSEY STATE ARCHIVES COLLECTION GUIDE Record Group: Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc. Series: Aerial Negatives and Prints of New Jersey Sites, 1946-1949, 1951 & 1957 Accession #: 1995.047 Series #: PFAIR001 Guide Date: 2/1997 (JK); rev. 8/2002 (JN) Volume: 7.0 c.f. [14 boxes] Contents | Views List Content Note The founder of Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Sherman Mills Fairchild (1896-1971), was a pioneer in the field of aerial photography. He was the son of a wealthy congressman from New York, George Winthrop Fairchild, whose time- clock and adding-machine business eventually became the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). In 1916, the younger Fairchild established himself as a technological leader when he developed the first synchronized camera shutter and flash. During World War I, he became interested in aerial photography and, in March 1919, completed a specialized camera for this purpose with a large, between-the-lens shutter. Shortly afterward he established the Fairchild Aerial Camera Corporation with financing from his father. By 1924, he had formed Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc., and secured a $7,000 contract to photo-map Newark, New Jersey. This was the first aerial mapping of a major city, but was completed at a cost to the Fairchild company of nearly $30,000. During the next few years, Fairchild's aerial survey company saw greater success mapping areas in Canada, New York City and other eastern cities. Originally purchasing airplanes for the business, Sherman Fairchild eventually began manufacturing his own planes. Unfortunately, little information is available in print with regard to the photo- mapping activities of Fairchild Aerial Surveys during the succeeding decades. A detailed history of the Fairchild aircraft, however, can be found in Fairchild Aircraft, 1926-1987 by Kent A. Mitchell (Santa Ana, CA: Narkiewicz/ Thompson, 1997). This series includes nearly 1,400 low-altitude, oblique views of New Jersey sites produced by the New York Office of Fairchild Aerial Surveys during the years 1946-1949, 1951 and 1957. While this is essentially a negative collection, a considerable number of black and white prints are also included. The series was originally part of a larger collection of Fairchild negatives from the years noted above; negatives and prints showing sites not in New Jersey, however, were transferred to the state archives of the other states represented. A state-by-state record of the deaccessioned items is included in Box #14. The surviving vertical views done by Fairchild's New York Office are held by the Map and Imagery Laboratory of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Following the Box Contents list below, the views are listed by county and thereunder by negative number (i.e., chronologically). The span of numbers shown for each site is followed by "/g" in cases where there is a gap in the number sequence. While most of the state is represented, the northeastern counties by far have the greatest number of images. The negatives (and prints) generally measure 8"x10", with a small number of negatives measuring 9"x9". Oversized items are contained in Boxes #12 and #13. Also included are references to prints that can be found in the series: Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, Aerial Survey of the Morristown Main Line, Montclair Branch, Gladstone Branch and Greenwood Lake-Boonton Line, 1949 (DLW). file:///M|/highpoint/webdocs/state/darm/darm2011/guides/guides%20for%20pdf/pfair001.html[5/16/2011 9:30:49 AM] NJDARM: Collection Guide - Box Contents Box No. Negative Nos. 1 93563-94521 2 94525-102617 3 102618-103272 4 103296-103407 5 103408-104960 6 104961-105490, 51:1165-51:1171 7 51:1172-51:1494 8 51:1496-51:1985 9 51:1986-51:3709 10 51:4054-51:4827 11 51:4828-51:5397, 57:4664-57:4848 12 Oversized negatives, 93978-105444, 51:2675-51:2701 13 Oversized negatives, 51:2702-51:5397 14 Record of negatives deaccessioned to other states Views Listed by County Atlantic County 104942-104944 Atlantic City, 10/13/1949 [3 images] 104988, 104989 Atlantic City, 10/21/1949 [2 images] 104992, 104993 Ventnor, 10/21/1949 [2 images] 104994 Margate City, 10/21/1949 [1 image] 104995, 104996 Longport, 10/21/1949 [2 images] Bergen County 93868-93874/g Roehrs Plant, Rutherford, 11/27/1946 [6 images] 93875-93879/g Bendix Plant, Teterboro, 11/27/1946 [4 images] 94026-94032 Bendix Plant, Teterboro, 12/5/1946 [7 images] 102073-102081 Development, Maywood, 9/14/1948 [9 images] 103141-103147/g Fairview and Mt.

Sloan School of Management on May 1, 1971, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Management. ABSTRACT This thesis is a case study of Fairmicco Inc., a black capitalism enterprise established to attack the hardcore unemployment problem in Washington, D. C. The sponsors of Fairmicco were the Fairchild Hiller Corporation, the Model Inner City Community Organization (MICCO), a black non-profit confederation of local organizations, and the U. S. Government, which provided initial financing and contracts through its Departments of Commerce, Labor and Defense. Research data for the project were obtained primarily through interviews with various Fairchild Hiller and Fairmicco Inc. personnel, who were deeply involved with the formation and operation of the company. Against the background of the national and local environments existing in 1967, the study describes and analyzes significant events in the company's history from incorporation in February 1968 to present day.

    Report to the Computer History Museum on the Information Technology Corporate Histories Project Semiconductor Sector Fairchild Semiconductor Company Details Name: Fairchild Semiconductor Sector: Semiconductor Sector Description . THIS SITE WAS ESTABLISHED TO COLLECT AND PRESENT INFORMATION AND STORIES RELATED TO FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR AS PART OF THE OCTOBER 2007 CELEBRATION OF THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE COMPANY. IF YOU HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO CONTRIBUTE PLEASE CONTACT THE FACILITATORS LISTED BELOW. Overview Founded in 1957 in a building now designated as California Historical Landmark # 1000 in Palo Alto, California by eight young engineers and scientists from Shockley Semiconductor Laboratories, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation pioneered new products and technologies together with an entrepreneurial style and manufacturing and marketing techniques that reshaped Silicon Valley and the world-wide industry. The Planar process invented in 1959 revolutionized the production of semiconductor devices and enables the manufacture of today's billion transistor microprocessor and memory chips. Funded by and later acquired as a division of Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation of Syosset, New York, Fairchild was the first manufacturer to introduce high-frequency silicon transistors and practical monolithic integrated circuits to the market. At the peak of its influence in the mid-1960s, the division was one of the world’s largest producers of silicon transistors and controlled over 30 percent of the market for ICs. Director of Research and Development, Gordon Moore observed in 1965 that device complexity was increasing at a consistent rate and predicted that this would continue into the future. “Moore’s Law,” as it became known, created a yardstick against which companies have measured their technology progress for over 40 years.

I don't believe you, you're kidding me.“ Frühe Fluggeräte, ob schwerer oder leichter als Luft, bestanden aus Materialien, die uns heute im besten Fall als ungeeignet erscheinen. Bambus und Stoff weckten aber auch das Misstrauen der frühen Flugzeugbauer und -nutzer. Das revolutionäre Technologiesystem Flugzeug sollte von jeher aus den modernsten Materialien bestehen, ganz gleich ob sie immer wirklich die geeignetsten waren. Dieses Dogma hat bis heute nichts an Gültigkeit verloren. Und bis heute verursacht dieser Zwang zu den aktuellsten Materialien oft mehr Probleme als er löst. Das Beispiel Flugzeugbau bietet interessante Antworten auf die Frage, warum sich Technologien durchsetzen bzw. eben nicht durchsetzen. Es beweist, wie entscheidend und unterschätzt der Einfluss des Nutzers auf die Entwicklung einer Technologie ist. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Vorwort des Reihenherausgebers Rolf-Jürgen Gleitsmann 1.

He played a key role in launching Fairchild Semiconductor, Teledyne, Intel, Apple, and many other high-tech companies. He was a visionary who saw very early on the future of the computer industry and, in many ways, was a driving force in the emergence of Silicon Valley as a center of innovation and entrepreneurship. Following an early career on Wall Street in investment banking, Arthur started his first venture capital partnership with Tommy Davis ten years after graduating from HBS. Between 1961 and 1968, Davis & Rock invested $3 million and returned $100 million to their investors. Arthur shared his experiences as a venture capitalist and his insights into successful entrepreneurship during a video interview at his San Francisco office in March 2001. Interviewer: Amy Blitz, HBS Director of Media Development for Entrepreneurial Management. The Early Years I was born and raised in Rochester, New York, and went to public schools in Rochester.
