some amazing 1940s-era video posted by mikeselectricstuff on YouTube documenting what can only be described as 1930s/40s integrated circuitry!

http://www.edn.com/design/analog/4442194/Remembering-Jim-Williams–5-years-later?_mc=NL_EDN_EDT_EDN_analog_20161229&cid=NL_EDN_EDT_EDN_analog_20161229&elqTrackId=6651a9bfaca04e019d9bd5013f37202a&elq=ef12e8164f1e431987aefe311dc9ec7b&elqaid=35339&elqat=1&elqCampaignId=30888

Famous analog engineer Jim Williams died of a stroke on June 12, 2011.

Jim was best-known as the most popular contributed writer at EDN. He did many of those articles as part of his duties as an application engineer at Linear Technology as well as National Semiconductor. His earliest articles were as a lab tech at MIT, and as an engineer with Arthur D Little consulting.

Notorious analog engineer Bob Pease died five years ago, on June 18, 2011. His passing was all the more tragic since he died driving home from a remembrance for fellow analog great Jim Williams. Although it was a Saturday, Bob had come to the service from his office at National Semiconductor, now Texas Instruments.

My buddy has a saying, “Everyone wants to be somebody, no one wants to become somebody.” Bob’s being the most famous analog designer was the result of his hard work becoming a brilliant engineer, with a passion for helping others.
