Sub-series 1. Subject Files, 1952-2000, undated

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series consists of subject files created and maintained by L. Arthur D’Asaro during his career at Bell Laboratories. These files document many of the projects he worked on at Bell Laboratories. They also regard a number other subjects that attracted his attention while working at Bell Laboratories.

From the Subject Files sub-series, one can learn much about the research and development work conducted by D’Asaro and his colleagues on a number of projects over the course of his career at Bell Laboratories. This sub-series also reveals that D’Asaro actively sought to keep himself up to date with the latest technological developments in electronics engineering.

The contents of the Subject Files consist mainly of Bell Laboratories technical memorandums, photocopied articles, and article reprints. A variety of other materials, including, but not limited to, correspondence, notes, reports, papers, presentations, magazine articles, printed materials, and two small artifacts (one flip chip and one Smith Line calculator) are also found here. A significant amount of accompanying photographic materials, which consist mainly of photographs, but also include smaller numbers of transparencies, slides, and negatives, are preserved in the Subject Files sub-series as well.
