Historical Note

The Sperry Gyroscope Company researched, developed, and manufactured navigation equipment; three of the premiere products were the marine gyrostabilizer, the gyrocompass, and the high-intensity searchlight. The company was founded by Elmer A. Sperry (1860-1930) in 1910. In 1912, Sperry, along

- Page 3- Sperry Gyroscope Company Division photographs and films 1986.273 with his son Lawrence Sperry (1892-1923), developed the automatic airplane stabilization systems later known as . During the years between 1915 and 1925 Sperry worked closely with the United States Navy to develop airplane stabilizers, gyrostabilized bombsights, automatic fire control systems, the aerial torpedo, and a number of anti-aircraft devices.

Sperry Gyroscope originally rented quarters in a building in New York, but in 1913 moved to two floors in a factory in Brooklyn. The growth of the firm during World War I led to the construction of their own eleven-story building at the Manhattan Bridge Plaza in Brooklyn in 1916. By 1920 the firm had approximately seventy salaried employees and was working on a myriad of projects, including a pilotless plane, a more powerful searchlight, and a ship stabilizer. Sperry Gyroscope's work on airplane instrumentation increased in the 1920s. Their devices were used in the first completely blind flight in 1929 and Wiley Post's (1898-1935) solo around-the-world flight in 1933.

In 1926, Elmer Sperry retired as president of the company and two years later sold the firm to North American Aviation Inc., a conglomerate formed by Clement M. Keys (1876–1952). In the midst of the depression the was formed in 1933 as a holding and management company from the Sperry Gyroscope Co., the Sperry Gyroscope Co., Ltd. (England), and the Ford Instrument Company, which had been founded by Sperry's first chief engineer, Hannibal Ford (1877-1955).

In the late 1930s, Sperry Gyroscope developed the Klystron Tube which was used in microwave radar and as World War II approached, the company became more heavily involved in electronic systems. During the war, Sperry gunsights and directional systems were used extensively by the Allies and the gyroscope company division of the Sperry Corporation grew tremendously.

In 1941, a new plant was built at Lake Success in Nassau County, Long Island, still the main site of Sperry Gyroscope operations. After World War II, Sperry developed inertial guidance systems for ship, plane, and missile use, and continued work in electronic warfare, including radar and countermeasure devices. Development of the Sparrow I, the first air-to-air missile in active service, was carried out entirely by Sperry Gyroscope.

In 1955, the Sperry Corporation merged with Remington-Rand, creating the Sperry Rand Company. The Gyroscope Company continued as a division of that larger corporation. Sperry Rand was renamed the Sperry Corporation in July 1979, and in November 1986 it merged with the Burroughs Corporation to form the Unisys Corporation.

Scope and Content

The Sperry Gyroscope Company photographs and films collection consists primarily of images of products and inventions developed between 1912 and 1965, a bulk of materials date from 1940 through 1960.

The photographic portion of the collection is mostly reproductions made for the Sperry Gyroscope Archives. These reproductions were not printed on photographic paper. There are a few original - Page 4- Sperry Gyroscope Company Division photographs and films 1986.273 photographs in the Personnel and Products series, however, a bulk of the original photographs are in the Public Information Department series. None of the other series contain photographic prints.

The photographic reproductions were bound in folders and transferred to the Sperry Gyroscope Archives. Nearly every image includes a negative number, date, and description. The images have been removed from the bound folders and place in archival folders, however, folder titles and order within folders has been maintained.

The collection has been organized into five series: Personnel; Plants and Sperry School; Products; Public Information Department; and Visitors, exhibits, models, and patents. Most of the series are arranged in alphabetical order unless otherwise noted, materials within folders are in reverse chronological order (oldest images in the back of the folder, earlier images in the front).

The Personnel series is divided into two subseries: Individuals and Groups.

The Individuals subseries consists of portraits of individual employees. The materials are arranged chronologically. Nearly every individual is identified, although identifications are not consistent sometimes the full name is given, sometimes just the initials, and some include the person's job title. Names of individuals are listed for each folder as they have been provided. Occasionally a person will appear twice within a folder. The images date from 1918 through 1958.

The Groups subseries is arranged chronologically and then alphabetically. The images are both group portraits as well as candid or informal snapshots. There is the occasional image of an individual and not a group. The images are of employees at work anniversary dinners, receiving awards or service pins, departmental staff portraits, outings, events, and parties. Employees pictured includes women and minorities. There is also an album of original photographs of the Army-Navy E awards. The images date from 1919 to 1960 with one group of images from 1911.

Plants and Sperry School series contains interior and exterior views of Sperry facilities. There are some aerials views of plants, building exteriors, and interiors which show various departments laboratories and work areas. There are images that show the construction of the Nassau plant. The views of the school are primarily interiors, many show students at work or with instructors. The images date from 1915 to 1962 and are mostly photographic reproductions, though there are a few original photographs in this series. There are three silent films two contain footage of site construction and one is of a laboratory dedication ceremony.

Products series is divided into eleven subseries: Aeronautical Systems; Air armament; Aircraft sights and turrets; Army Fire Control (AFC), Bomber Navigation Systems (BNS); Marine systems; Microwave and electronic equipment; Navy Fire Control (NFC) and Navy systems; Radio and electronics; Surface armament; and Searchlights.

Throughout the subseries many folders are titled with "AN/" followed by a series of letters and numbers. The United States military use letter combinations to designate electronic and equipment. This designation system is called the "Joint Communications-Electronics Nomenclature System" or "AN" for short (Army-Navy). All designations have the "AN/" prefix followed by three letters, a number, and potentially followed by another single letter and a version. The letters in different positions signify the installation, equipment type, and purpose. See the Wikipedia entry for Joint Communications-Electronics Nomenclature System for the full explanation of the letters in the system.

Products, 1912-1965 Scope and Contents

Products series is divided into eleven subseries: Aeronautical Systems; Air armament; Aircraft sights and turrets; Army Fire Control (AFC), Bomber Navigation Systems (BNS); Marine systems; Microwave and electronic equipment; Navy Fire Control (NFC) and Navy systems; Radio and electronics; Surface armament; and Searchlights.

Throughout the subseries many folders are titled with "AN/" followed by a series of letters and numbers. The United States military use letter combinations to designate electronic and communications equipment. This designation system is called the "Joint Communications-Electronics Nomenclature System" or "AN" for short (Army-Navy). All designations have the "AN/" prefix followed by three letters, a number, and potentially followed by another single letter and a version. The letters in different positions signify the installation, equipment type, and purpose. See the Wikipedia entry for Joint Communications-Electronics Nomenclature System for the full explanation of the letters in the system.

Aeronautical systems subseries are images of parts and components for aircraft related to autopilots, gyros, and navigation. There are many folders containing images of products from various Sperry departments. Departments were assigned numbers, however, there is no key within the collection that explains what the numbers mean or what the name of the department was. The images date from 1912 to 1918 and from 1926 to 1964. The films in this subseries are primarily of flight tests, there are a few films not produced by Sperry that show old versus new methods of manufacturing or installing different parts, and there is a three part series about weighted guidelines.

Radio and electronics subseries contains images primarily related to radar and radio communication, including images related to the Klystron tube, Long Range Navigation (LORAN), and Long Range Navigation version C (LORAN-C). The images date from 1940 to 1965. There are two films which show footage related to the LORAC-C and Tactical Early Warning Radar (TEW).

Searchlights subseries consists of images of searchlights, primarily the 60 inch high intensity searchlights. The subseries dates from 1913 to 1949. There is one film containing footage about the manufacturing of the 60" searchlights.

Surface armament subseries are images primarily related to radar, target and guidance tracking. There are images of components of the Nike Zeus (anti-ballistic missile), and military aircraft the T-38 and T-41. This subseries dates from 1947 to 1964.

Throughout the subseries many folders are titled with "AN/" followed by a series of letters and numbers. The United States military use letter combinations to designate electronic and communications equipment. This designation system is called the "Joint Communications-Electronics Nomenclature System" or "AN" for short (Army-Navy). All designations have the "AN/" prefix followed by three letters, a number, and potentially followed by another single letter and a version. The letters in different positions signify the installation, equipment type, and purpose.

Public Information Department series are photographic prints intended for publicity purposes. Many photographs appear to be for press releases, newsletters, and reports. There are many images related to Lawrence Sperry and his various achievements in aviation. There are aerials, views of plants and buildings, and images of various instruments. These images date from the 1910s through to the 1950s. There are several informational and promotional films intended for an outside audience; three about space flight (All Systems Go!, The Flight of Apollo 11: Eagle Has Landed, and Where Am I?); two about the Univac computer (At the Forefront and The Catalyst); one about the relationship between man and machine (Army-Navy Instrumentation Program) and a film Honoring the 100th Anniversary of Elmer A. Sperry's birth celebrating achievements in navigation and aviation (Guideposts to Tomorrow). There are a few films intended for internal personnel purposes: Gateway to Careers: Tour Through Univac; The Time is Now; The Veteran Returns to Work (film strips); and Tips for Teachers. A few films contain raw footage: An American Passenger - to Heligoland, Wilhelmshaven and Bremen!; Around the Northern Irish Coast and into Belfast Harbor; Growth of Crystals; and Information Handling System patented by William L. Poland. One film reel contains personal footage of the Sperry family and one reel is a Pathe News reel about the Sperry Messenger Airplane. There is also an audio recording of the Dedication of H.H. Arnold/Thunderbirds Field.
