 ABOUT THE AUTHOR   
 

Alfred Corbin received his initial education in electronics as  a technician in the U.S. Navy during World War II, later attending the University of Maryland, earning the BSEE degree.  During that time, he worked as the “bench man” in a TV repair shop.   As  an analog computer designer at Engineering Research Corp., he was involved in some of the company’s early design work with transistors, then migrated with his young family to the Cape Canaveral area of Florida to work as a design engineer.  In 1960, he was one of the founders of Metric Systems Corp. in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, starting as Chief of Digital Systems and ultimately becoming company president.      In 1972, Corbin started Technical Services Laboratory where he was the owner/chief engineer for  25 years, and presently serves as a consulting engineer.     In his career of some 60 years, Corbin has seen and been involved in a period of tremendous technological changes, working in vacuum-tube circuits, early transistor developments and more recently with microprocessors and associated software.     Corbin has published technical articles in various trade journals, and has two other books in print, “Computer Data Handling Circuits” and “The Third Element, a Brief History of Electronics"
