THE DAIIY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA '■ What's “I joined IBM for two reasons,” Robert Thorpe recalls. “First, the tremendous company growth obviously offered every chance for advancement. Second, the area of work was exactly what 1 was looking for— transistors and their application to computer systems.” In June, 1955, Bob Thorpe decided to enter the IBM training program, where he studied the corporate struc ture, its Divisions and products. He received technical training in computer logic, programming, and compo nents such as transistors, cores and tapes. By Septem ber, half his time was being devoted to an actual project; by the following March, he was on that project full time. "Our job was to transistorize six servo-amplifiers for the airborne bombing-navigational system,” he recalls, “and we completed the project in April.” In Research (as in all of IBM), he works in a small group. “Our team consists of three E. E.'s and a tech nician. We start with an analysis of the over-all system and its components. Then w’e use modern design tech niques involving the latest devices to implement the system.” His group splits up occasionally to investigate special phases of a project but reunites in frequent sessions to coordinate their research activities. Promoted to Associate Engineer Th« “»n:aU-group" approach fo nfcrch assigned to the Circuit Logic Department. Here, he was concerned with re search in new areas of computer technology—for example, magnetic logic and semi-conductor circuit components and systems which operate in “real time.” Recently, a “Process Control Technology Group” has been organized within the Circuit Logic Department. “Our primary function in this group,” Bob Thorpe says, “is to study sampled-data systems for application to industrial process control. This work is theoretical and involves mathematical studies of representative systems and processes.” it like to be with IBM In August, 1956, he was promoted to Asso ciate Engineer. At that time he had been work ing on a design and de velopment project for a D. G. sweep-restoring system for transistor ized airborne radar data presentation. He worked on this project until it was completed in May, 1957. Bob Thorpe was next For Good Results—Collegian Classi: GRADUATE ENGINEERS Here are the opportunities you have been seeking!

INLAND STEEL COMPANY East Chicago, Indiana Research Engineer Robert A. Thorpe, like many other engineers, mathematicians and physicists, came to IBM directly from college. Here he describes how he put his E. E. degree to work in the exciting new area of computer technology. What does the future hold? Bob Thorpe plans to continue in systems work and to develop "a more sophisticated ap proach, to the analysis and synthesis of sampled-data control systems.” As his career develops, he can advance to still more challenging proj ects of a scientific na- ture or he can assume managerial responsibil- Tetting amplifier performance ities combining administrative and scientific talents. Either way, the future is open. IBM Research is ex pandingenormouslyatthepresenttime. Anew Research Center is being constructed in Westchester County, N. Y., which will be the world headquarters for all IBM research centers in this country and Europe. Ntw area of computer technology This profile is just one example of what it’s like to be with IBM. There are many other excellent opportunities for well-qualified college men in Research, Develop ment, Manufacturing, Sales and Applied Science.

MARCH 1 1958 The fact that he is so much on his own, Bob Thorpe says, is what he likes best about IBM. “There’s no ‘over-the shoulder’ supervision. You schedule your own program and set your own pace.” Mr. R. A. Whitehorne IBM Corp., Dept. 813 590 Madison Avenue New York 22, N. Y.
