Arthur Collins Radio Wizard

The true story of a brilliant electronics entrepreneur-inventor who spent 40 years building a Fortune 500 company, then lost it through his obsession to develop a costly computer system years ahead of its time. Demonstrating advanced radio prowess as a teen-ager, he established a firm based upon innovative engineering and high quality products, making it the world leader in air transport avionics and amateur radio. The firm, Collins Radio Company, provided the voice radios used by astronauts on all Mercury, Gemini and Apollo flights, and equipment which transmitted Apollo mission TV pictures from the moon. Collins Radio, also was a leader in radio broadcasting, many military communication programs, microwave systems, Voice of America transmitters, early modems and data communications. His data work led to the world's first computerized wireline message switching system, technology adapted later for the Internet and e-mail. Order Form Information: Colllins Book; Ben W.
