The 'E' in "EG&G" is for Harold
Eugene "Doc" Edgerton, who is famous
for his pioneering work in strobe photography. He was quite a legend
as a professor at MIT.
I went to school with his grandson Eric, and his son Bob was my High School Physics
teacher.
Needless to say, we did *A LOT* of stroboscope experiments!
I believe Bob went on to work for Stan Ovshinsky at Energy Conversion Devices (creator of
NiMH batteries among other cool things.)
