Neva Duncan Tabb

Mr. Duncan worked for the Sperry Rand Corporation form the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s. As Engineering Manager in charge of microwave solid state research and development, he was awarded 14 patents for his unique problem-solving designs.
One of his more notable achievements involved heading the team which was created to design a receiver with such low noise that it would pick up both visual and audio information transmitted on a one watt signal -- from the moon. His team was successful and these receivers were placed at all the earth-receiving stations around the world, where they functioned throughout all the Apollo missions.
