I was on the team that installed PicturePhones at NY Tel Corporate HQ back in '71!
No kidding!
I got a special tribute to Western Electric in the BIG Blog post....read it.
Memories, I guarantee. Plus, thoughts about how far we’ve come since then.
We put the curl in the cords down here in Baltimore!
OH....and remember the song...
HELLO AMERICA HOW ARE YOU? WESTERN ELECTRIC HELPS YOU TO SAY HELLO.
even today I sometimes sing this song.
Who sung it?
WE had a big plant on the east side of Indy that closed up in the 80s. WE did a of work on statistical quality control with Shewhart and Juran being a couple of their famous guys.
When they closed up, a lot of their good engrs were hired at our GM plant, excellent folks.
