Sub-series Description
Arranged numerically by drawing set number and alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains Sterling P. Newberry’s Micro-Bit Corporation Blueprints and Drawings, which he collected and maintained during his tenure with the firm. Highly technical in nature, the blueprints and drawings are of various components of Micro-Bit’s “fly’s eye” electron beam accessed memory, which was designed and manufactured by the firm under Newberry’s oversight.
Blueprints and original drawings make up the bulk of the materials found in this sub-series. Small amounts of accompanying materials, including correspondence, notes, revision sheets, and sketches are preserved here as well.
