ELECTRONICS ENGINEER
The Story of DICK LONGFELLOW
MINNESOTA '37
NO small factor in Dick Longfellow's decision to come with General Electric was the knowledge that at G.E. he could continue his studies in electronics engineering.
Dick had grown up with electronics. He had operated his own amateur radio station when he was 14, and at Minnesota he had specialized in communications.
With this background of intensive study, he was well-prepared to take advantage of the courses available to him at General Electric. His outstanding work during two years of high-frequency studies earned him electronics assignments first, in the Research Laboratory, and later, in 1940, with the Transmitter Division.
Since then Dick Longfellow has been shaping for himself the kind of a career he began planning long ago. He has worked in television, has designed ultra high frequency radio tubes, has contributed to the development of radar. Today, after ten years with G.E., he is Chief Engineer of the company's Electronics Specialty Division.
Next to schools and the U.S. Government, General Electric employs more college engineering graduates than any other organization.
GENERAL
An engineer for his University broadcasting station, Dick handled controls during football broadcasts.
Among his present assignments is included work on radio sande equipment, used to determine weather data.
