Revised EDVAC design:
Finally the task of project manager and chief engineer
was given to Richard L. Snyder
who saw the project through to the point where a machine
was actually shipped from the Moore School to the Army's
Ballistic Research Laboratories at the Aberdeen Proving
Ground in Maryland. Snyder left the Moore School at this
time and followed the machine to the Ballistic Research
Laboratory.
I would like to mention, in addition to all the pioneer names mentioned,
a Mr. Richard L. Snyder, who worked on the earliest television,
designed power amplifier tubes,light amplifier tubes,
designed most of the EDVAC circuitry, and the first pulse circuitry
and pulse switching power supply, which is in prevalent use today.
He designed the first synchronous drum and was the brains behind the technology
research for digital systems at BRL. [US Army Ballistics Research Laboratory]
He re-used WWII radar technology to assemble EDVAC.
