Sub-series Description
Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains Sterling P. Newberry’s Micro-Bit Corporation Technical Files, which he collected and maintained during his tenure with the firm. Highly technical in nature, these files provide detailed documentation of research and development work carried out on Micro-Bit’s “fly’s eye” electron beam accessed memory, which was designed and manufactured by the firm under Newberry’s oversight.
The contents of the Micro-Bit Corporation Technical Files consist of a wide variety of materials. Correspondence, reports, and notes are the most common materials found in this sub-series. Smaller, but noticeable, amounts of articles, test data sheets, engineering specification sheets, blueprints, drawing reproductions, and sketches are also present in this sub-series. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, graphs, papers, procedure sheets, minutes, transparencies, and photographs are preserved here as well.
