This paper outlines the history of Morita’s development of computer control mechanisms for fire ladder trucksMorita Corporation devised a number of computer control procedures to be implemented in the ‘Super Gyro-Ladder Series’ released in 1985. This series ladder trucks were equipped with the following facilities for secure ladder control;1. gyro controller, 2. main control station, 3. basket, 4. ladder controller, 5. security devices, etc.This article describes Morita’s development of this new series, featuring the historic expertise of enhancing the security control.

Power system simulation is important for power system planning, operation, control, and analysis. Originally, analog devices and small generators were used for simulators. This paper introduces the history of computers used for the simulators, such as array processors, TRANSPUTER, nCUBE, and PC clusters. The history of computers has determined the direction of simulator technology progress.

The Women’s Engineering Society (WES) was formed in 1919. As it celebrates its 100th birthday, this paper looks at some of the UK women who were involved in computing from the 1950s until present day. This includes eminent woman engineers such as: Dr Winifred Hackett, who moved from practical engineering research into the computer era of the 1950s and 1960s, her connection with the DEUCE machines and how she encouraged a young woman to succeed in a growing field.

The founding in January 1962 of CEH (Centre Electronique Horloger SA, a limited stock company) with an equity investment over 5 years of 25 million Francs (roughly 6 million US$ at the then prevailing exchange rate) allowed the establishment of one of the first full-fledged silicon wafer fab line in Europe, headed by Dr. Kurt Huebner, an alumnus of Bill Shockley at his Labs in Mountain View from 1958 to 1962. Starting in 1964 bipolar ICs were produced there, mainly as binary dividers for frequencies from 360 Hz up to 8 kHz, (electromechanical watch hands display), working off an input voltage of 1,35 Volts (wristwatch mercury battery). But immediately after that Dr. F. Leuenberger and Dr. R. Taubenest undertook the development of low voltage CMOS technology, without any access to ion implantation, culminating with the first working CMOS IC chip in 1968.The report is divided into 4 sections: 1. Background information 1960–1965 2. Early CMOS technology and design at CEH 1966–1971 3. International convergence, the role of Dr. Jean Hoerni, and of the ion implantation wafer processing (1969–1972). 4. The digital wristwatch as “killer application” for fast development of very low power CMOS system on chips, 1972–1980. 5. Conclusion.
