In 1929, the Radio Corporation of America acquired the Victor Talking Machine Company and soon made Camden the center of its own research, development, and manufacturing. Camden remained the company's primary advanced development site until GE acquired RCA in 1986. The records document RCA's work in the space program, electron microscopy, nuclear fusion, and other fields through research records, correspondence, reports, photographs and films. ^ Return to Table of Contents - Page 3- RCA Camden records 2464.76 Historical Note The RCA Camden plant was originally established as a recording studio and research laboratory under the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1907. By 1911, it had become a large factory producing Victor's highly popular "Victrola" phonograph player. In 1929, the Radio Corporation of America acquired the Victor Talking Machine Company and soon made Camden the center of its own research, development, and manufacturing. Although RCA moved its main laboratories to Princeton in 1942 and shifted most manufacturing to Indianapolis after the Second World War, Camden remained the company's primary advanced development site until GE acquired RCA in 1986. ^ Return to Table of Contents Scope and Content The RCA Camden records document RCA's work in the space program, electron microscopy, nuclear fusion, and other fields through research records, correspondence, reports, photographs and films. Particularly valuable are the papers and films from Harry L. and Harvey P. Sommerer, which show the activities of the RCA controlled Victor Talking Machine Company of Japan (now JVC) before the Second War. The RCA Camden records are arranged in eight series: Walter G. Bain papers; John W. Coleman papers; Martin L. Levene papers; Edy Mozzi papers; Lawrence P. Nahay papers; Harry L. and Harvey P. Sommerer papers; Mearl W. Tilden papers; and General. The Walter G. Bain papers contain correspondence with various organizations including Republic Aviation Corporation, the United States Air Force, General Motors Company, Midwestern Instrument, and Hergenerather Associates. Along with RCA internal correspondence, the papers also include a scrapbook, news clippings, and membership information related to a variety of organizations. The John W. Coleman papers are composed of reports, photographs, diagrams, and correspondence related to his work on electron microscopes at RCA and Tara Tandem fusion experiments at MIT. The papers also include materials relating to nuclear fusion, ephemera from the Plasma Fusion Center at MIT, and a number of John W. Coleman's patents. Along with newspaper clippings and publications about scientific instruments, the papers also include information related to the Beverly High School Solar Photovoltaic Project in Massachusetts. The Martin L. Levene papers include reports, proposals, publications, and notes documenting his research work. Of particular note is the material relating to the Lunar Communications Relay Unit - Page 4- RCA Camden records 2464.76 (LCRU) optical sight first used in the Apollo 15 mission. When Levene donated the collection in 2003, he added annotations and other contextual information to many of the documents. The Edy Mozzi papers consist largely of a disassembled scrapbook Mozzi made documenting the RCA efforts on Project Relay (1962-1965). Newspaper and other press clippings, cartoons, NASA news releases, and photos documenting the development and construction of Relay modules fill the former scrapbook pages. There are technical papers covering topics such as the launch procedures for Relay 1, the power supply problem in the Relay systems, a report written by Mozzi himself on the telemetry system, and photographs of the environmental testing process. The scrapbook also contained early stills of the first television programs transmitted, and pictures of President John F. Kennedy that were also sent across the Atlantic. Mozzi also collected clipping about the rival Telstar satellite program from AT&T. The latest contents of the scrapbook are related to a 1977 reunion of the engineers involved in Project Relay. In addition to the contents of the scrapbook, the papers include printed materials about RCA Video Tape, a 2001 interview with Mozzi from Public Radio International Reporter Paul Conlow, and materials relating to the transfer of the David Sarnoff Research Center to SRI, as well as Mozzi's thoughts on that transaction. The Lawrence P. Nahay papers are composed of Nahay's work binder. These papers include resumes, work schedules and phone numbers, travel receipts, specifications, correspondence, reports, graphs, and schematics. The majority of the papers related to his day-to-day work relate to Nahay's work on the Space Station, GWEN, and Apollo programs, particularly the design of signal systems for communications and tracking. The Harry L. and Harvey P. Sommerer papers are primarily composed of Harvey P.'s papers, including a letterbook, Japanese business and identity cards, recreational photographs, and ephemera. The papers also include fifteen films from the 1930s, primarily in Japan. The Mearl W. Tilden papers are composed of inspection and installation reports, notes, correspondence, schematics, notebooks, and articles related to the electron microscope. The General series include photographs,

It is an effort to still cries from those who have asked for a comprehensive listing. The Special Publication series, which has included some of NASA's most ambitious scientific or technical books, has covered a broad range of topics, including much of the agency's research and development work, its full range of space- exploration programs, its work in advancing aeronautics technology, and many associated historical and managerial efforts. In the nearly two decades that the series has existed, some 1200 titles have borne the SP identifier. How NASA Special Publications came about may be instructive. Along with several predecessor agencies, NASA research laboratories were accustomed to publishing reports, using a formal structure of four or five separate series, with the characteristics of each series carefully defined. Inevitably this raised the question, how do you categorize reports that don't fit existing patterns? The answer, obviously, is that you put them in another series labeled "special." The backroom gnomes who invented this solution had no knowledge that they were inventing a bushy tail that would soon wag the dog. By the mid-1960s the new series was becoming preeminent among NASA publications, and.beginning to win worldwide recognition.
