The following quotation is typical: Personal Notes Born 1914, St. Albans, England. Took first Degree (B.Sc.) as evening part-time student, Northampton Polytechnic, London 1936, whilst Laboratory Assistant at Research Laboratories, General Electric Company, of Great Britain. M.Sc. in 1940. During Second World War, 1939-45, was attached to the Radar Research Establishment, Malvern, mainly concerned with flying trials. After War, joined Manchester University as Lecturer. Moved to Imperial College, London University, in 1947, first as Lecturer, then Reader, then appointed to Chair in Telecommunication, 1958. Professor Cherry was awarded a Marconi International Fellowship in 1978; to 'honor notable contributions to the field of communications, both in the scientific/technological sense and in terms of human perception'. He began work on his book 'The age of access' but died on 23 November, 1979. This book was completed for publication by Dr W E Edmondson, a former student. Professor Cherry's working papers were transferred to the archives after his death with the agreement of Mrs Heather Cherry.

W. Lee, G1997, after a brief illness. Some of George’s friends and Amar Bose at MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics. have assembled this impressionistic overview of his seminal His doctoral thesis entitled, “Nonlinear Operations for System contributions to the field of Systems and Control. Analysis” submitted for the Sc.D. degree at MIT forms the George Zames was born on January 7, 1934, in Lodz, foundation of much of his later work in Systems and Control. Poland. He was a child living with his parents in Warsaw, In 1957, Niels Bohr arrived for a lecture tour of North Poland, when the bombing of that city on September 1, 1939, America and asked for a “typical American” student to guide marked the start of World War II. His family escaped Europe him around Cambridge. George was found to be appropriate in an odyssey through Lithuania, whose occupation by Soviet for this task, and after being asked by Norbert Wiener for tanks they witnessed, then through Russia, Siberia, followed an introduction to Bohr, witnessed a remarkable argument by a triple crossing of the Sea of Japan, eventually reaching between the two men on the merits of research into the natural Kobe, Japan, early in 1941.

  • A Iilstory of the THEORY of INFORMATION
    Paper No. 1177 621.391(091) RADIO SECTION A IIlSTORY OF THE THEORY OF INFORMATION By E. COLIN CHERRY, M.Sc., Associate Member. (The paper was first received 1th February, and in revised form 28th May, 1951.) SUMMARY most important of which has been his ability to receive, to The paper mentions first some essential points about the early communicate and to record his knowledge. Communication development of languages, codes and symbolism, picking out those essentially involves a language, a symbolism, whether this is a fundamental points in human communication which have recently been spoken dialect, a stone inscription, a cryptogram, a Morse-code summarized by precise mathematical theory. A survey of telegraphy signal or a chain of numbers in binary digital form in a modern and telephony development leads to the need for "economy," which computing machine. It is interesting to observe that as technical has given rise to various systems of signal compression. Hartley's applications have increased in complexity with the passage of early theory of communication is summarized, and Gabor's theory time, languages have increased in simplicity, until to-day we are of signal structure is described. Modern statistical theory of Wiener and Shannon, by which considering the ultimate compression of information in the "information" may be expressed quantitatively, is shown to be a simplest possible forms. It is important to emphasize, at the logical extension of Hartley's work. A Section on calculating start, that we are not concerned with the meaning or the truth machines and brains attempts to clear up popular misunderstandings of messages; semantics lies outside the scope of mathematical and to separate definite accomplishments in mechanization of thought information theory.
