This "another reader" guy... Who is it? 90.230.101.206 (talk) 11:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

good question. I sure don't know, so I rewrote that bit. -- Akb4 (talk) 06:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blodgett

An editor added the following:

(Commentary added by a former employee, who joined Friden in Rochester shortly before Edward Blodgett was hospitalized: Several times, employees who had been there for some time related that Mr. Blodgett had said, more than once, "Electronics is a [dirty] word, and I don't want to hear it spoken in my presence." (Not sure about "dirty", but it was derogatory while usable in polite society). Around that time, a few engineers were working on a partly-electronic Flexowriter based on a digital bus, but it was under-funded and used heartbreakingly-unreliable connectors.

In defense of Edward Blodgett, this editor is fairly sure that he designed the Justowriter, an ingenious system, and probably made other significant technical contributions as well. Apparently, he was quite capable in the electromechanical field.)

This is pretty clearly OR and should be deleted from the article, so I'm archiving it here for reference purposes. -- Akb4 (talk) 06:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
