More than a name in a crossword puzzle. And although he’s probably most famous for the TWA terminal, it’s the Bell Labs building in Holmdel, NJ that I love.
It took three years to built, and it was Eero’s swan song. It was his crowning achievement, a mile long, with a 70 foot high cross-shaped atrium, where over 5,600 researchers worked, including my father. The cellphone, the transistor, microwave fiber optics, and most importantly, my father invented the magnetic swipe while at Bell Labs.
I had a summer internship at Bell Labs. I made a ton of money and my two tasks were writing a department newsletter and rewinding magnetic tapes in a freezing cold room. The writing and tons of money parts were the best.
