[QuadList] Introductions/RCA Guys-Arch Luther

[Ted Langdell]

Hi, Pat,

You probably remember Arch Luther?  Started with RCA designing  
circuits in the early 50's... had a hand in the TK-40 and 41, TSG-1  
and then went on to supervise the TR-22 and TR-70 development, among  
other things.

He's been retired from RCA for a while... and is currently living in  
Jenner, along the Russian River north of San Francisco. He's just  
turned 80... and is active in woodworking with redwood trees he has  
on his property.

He's authored a number of video engineering related books, into the  
late 90's and is currently writing his memoirs... with a couple of  
chapters about his years at RCA.

He thinks the website is a good start, and may contribute some  
material.  I hope he'll have time to subscribe to the list and jump  
in from time to time.

Ted.
