These are experts in their day from prestigious organizations such as California Institute of Technology, Cornell University, Harvard, Dupont, University of Chicago, Columbia, Bell Labs, MIT, Westinghouse, John Hopkins, National Academy of Sciences, and General Electric. Some 55 people were considered or deliberately rejected. The review committee consisted of Vannevar Bush, Dr. Oliver Buckley, Dr. A. M Richards, and Dr. Detlev Bronk.
