Soifer wrote a detailed report and submitted it to M.I.T.'s famed electronics expert, Dr. Jerome B. Wiesner. While verifying Soifer's claim of having made the first known two-way radio communication via satellite, Wiesner is not sure that the signals were reflected by a satellite's ionized trail. They may have been re-radiated by the antennas of one of the passing satellites...
...Great Challenge (CBS, 2:30-3:30 p.m.). In the first of a new discussion series, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Detlev W. Bronk and Jerome B. Wiesner wonder "Where Is Science Taking...
...synchrocyclotron volts) particle accelerator in the world-nearly twice as powerful as the one at Berkeley, Calif., though it has not yet lived up to its expensive expectations. Russia put its first pure-jet airliner into operation two years and more before the U.S., and M.I.T. Physicist Jerome B. Wiesner, who helped develop some of the advanced radar for the DEW line, has warned that Russia's air-defense system "appears to be better than...
...182Hycon-Eastern was started two years ago in Boston by M.I.T. Professors J. R. Zacharias and J. B. Wiesner as a consultant firm in long-range microwave communications. Now Hycon-Eastern is a contractor as well, has a $14 million contract to build a complete radio, telephone and TV communications network for Libya, is surveying a similar job in Thailand, dickering for contracts in Iran and the French Cameroons. The company has a crystal lattice filter for radios that will handle much higher frequencies at one-thousandth the cost of previous crystal lattice filters, has also developed an electronic time...
...Wiesner, director of the electronics laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who had helped pick the site, then Cohn told the committee that the scientist was now opposed to the Seattle location. Wiesner later told Woltman that Cohn had "misrepresented" his position, that he had never changed his mind about the Seattle site, and that "the sabotage charge was completely unfounded and ridiculous." Said Woltman: "By failing to present [this] vital testimony, Senator McCarthy could report mismanagement approaching sabotage . . . And the world's two largest transmitters now lie useless in Government warehouses." Swallows Come Home. Was there ever...
