RECEIVES DEDICATED
SERVICE AWARD
Paul A. Lumbard, Research Equipment Technician, has been a member of the staff of the School of Electrical Engineering for 29 years. Paul joined the E. E. School staff in 1952 after the School received a U.S. Army Signal Corps contract to test and evaluate all electron tubes replaced during the servicing of Army electronic equipment anywhere in the world. This program involved the testing of hundreds of thousands of tubes using equipment thatPaul helped design and maintain. As the program progressed, he became involved in the evaluation phase which required understanding the circuitry of the equipment using the "failed tubes,"most of which were found to be "good as new." With Paul's assistance,this Cornell program resulted in significantly improved reliability and less costly maintenance of U.S.military electronic equipment.
The semiconductor industry was in its infancy in 1952 with the transistor only recently invented and having no commerical applications. As the industry developed through the advent of commerical transistors and other semi-conductor devices including integrated circuits, Paul kept abreast of this field and became adept at the repair and maintenance of semiconductor equipment as well as that of other developing electronic apparatus. During this period, he was responsible for the equipment in the research laboratories of the E. E. School.
In recent years, Paul's responsibility has been extended to include equipment of the teaching laboratories of the School.
The School now inventories electronic and electrical instruments, systems, and devices valued at more than $40,000,000 and the planned and day-to-day maintenance of these units is a monumental operation. Nevertheless, Paul and his staff have been able to keep E.E.
teaching and research laboratories in an operating condition. Even before his responsibility included instructional equipment, it was common practice from faculty members to call for his assistance in instrument-crisis situations where instruction was in jeopardy because all other help failed. Rarely, if ever, was a faculty member disappointed by Paul's considerate and skillfull response, leaving little doubt that Cornell's Electrical Engineering School is a better place to work and study because Paul A. Lumbard is a member of the staff.
