This volume summarizes the contents of over 1,000 taped interviews, stored in 64 repositories, as well as listing basic information about the interviews, such as the interviewee, the interviewer, the date and place the interview was conducted, the length of the interview, and details about the existence of a transcript and index for the interview. </p><p>Many of the interviews listed in this volume were conducted as single components of large <a href="/Special:OralHistories" class="new" title="Special:OralHistories (page does not exist)">oral history</a> projects. These projects are surveyed in the first 57 entries of this guide. In these entries, the motivation for the project, a list of the people interviewed who are relevant to electrical technology, and a summary of the subjects covered is provided. In some cases, when enough information about a single interview conducted in association with a project was available, a separate entry for that interview is listed. These are found in the main body of the guide, organized in alphabetical order by name of the interviewee. The name of the project is given above the name of the interview subject. The balance of the entries are for interviews with figures of note in electrical history, conducted by independent scholars for their own research and deposited in a welcoming repository. These are also listed alphabetically, by interviewee. </p><p>Each entry in the guide, whether for a single interview or a project, is assigned its own entry number. This number is the first data field, preceding the large, bold name of the interviewee. The two indexes refer to entries by their entry number. Hence, the number 347 in the subject index means interview number 347, which is on page 45. Entry numbers are assigned in ascending numerical order, but their sequence is not continuous. There are several gaps in the numbering of the entries. For example, although entry number 347 follows number 346, it is itself followed not by number 348, but by number 349. There is no entry number 348. This unusual system is an artifact of the editing process and should not hinder the easy use of the guide. </p><p>Please note: Interviews listed in this guide may not be open to researchers. </p><p>There are many reasons why access to an interview might be restricted; some interviews are closed, or partially closed, at the request of the interviewee, some are closed because permission forms have not been signed or processing is incomplete, some interviews may have other conditions on their use. These conditions change, however, and in preparing this guide we hoped to not withhold mention of interviews that, while currently unavailable, might be open in the future. Any researcher interested in examining an oral history listed in this guide must consult the archivist at the repository in question to determine whether the interview is available. There are other good reasons to call an archive before visiting. Information about business hours, special costs, or other facts relevant to a planned research trip can help the researcher avoid wasting time. Also, advance notification gives the archive's staff time to retrieve off-site materials, obtain permissions, and make other advance preparations. <a href="/Archives:IEEE_Archives" title="Archives:IEEE Archives">Archives</a> are often unable to assist the unannounced researcher. The repository index at the end of this volume gives addresses and phone numbers of the repositories cited in this guide. </p><p>Sources in Electrical History 2: Oral History Collections in U.S. Repositories was prepared over a span of several years by the staff of the Center for the History of Electrical Engineering. The fundamental work of researching this book was primarily the job of Edward Sowders.

About that time, the Puget Sound Power and Light Co. was building Rock Island Dam on the Columbia River, just southeast of the Wenatchee River. Lack of funds halted the project, so the Chelan County PUD purchased it and completed the project. Richardson was also instrumental in the planning for the Rocky Reach Dam on the Columbia river just north of the Wenatchee, where only private funds were used to finance it. Seven generators were installed, with pits for four more if needed. The additional generators were installed a few years later, and Chelan County's cheap electrical power was an important consideration in Alcoa's decision to locate there. </p><p>526<br /> RICKOVER, HYMAN<br /> Profession: Vice Admiral, U.S. Navy<br /> Kennedy Library, Mass.<br /> Transcript </p><p>Rickover discusses his work as Chief of the Bureau for Nuclear Propulsion in the Bureau of Ships and as Chief of the Naval Reactors Branch of the Atomic Energy Commission. </p><p>529<br /> ROBERTS, BESSIE D.

He tells how, as a construction engineering student at the University of Berlin in the mid-1930s, he became aware of the need for large-scale calculating devices. He describes the design and construction of his Z1, a mechanical relay computer, and the problems with mechanical calculating units and programming capacity. He explains how these problems were overcome in his electro-mechanical relay calculators, the Z2 and Z3, of the late 1930s, and his Z4 of the 1940s. As an aircraft engineer during World War II, he interested German Air Force researchers in using computers for wing flutter problems. His next calculators, the S1 and S2, were used for process control in missile manufacture. He recalls that one of his later calculators, the S4, was brought to Werner von Braun's rocket factory for a short time, before he and von Braun fled to the Alps. Zuse describes how during his brief exile he developed a complex programming language, the Plankalk眉l. He then details his 1947 interrogation in London by the Allied Forces. He also mentions his contract with Remington Rand in the late 1940s, under which he designed first mechanical and then electro-mechanical relay computers.
