Istvan Gorog papers, 1969-2005

 Series
Accession: 2464-74Identifier: 2464-74-IV.
Scope and Content:

Contents of the papers document Gorog’s years as General Manager of the Lancaster Research & Development Center. They include operational records, such as departmental memos, executive summaries, and progress reports, as well as records of the plant’s efforts to develop cathode ray tube (CRT)-based television technologies to compete with products manufactured by overseas companies. An electrophotographic phosphor screening (EPS) project, dating to the early 1990’s, supported a broader initiative called “Eagle” that intended to produce a family of Thomson (CRT) televisions with high image quality. Both projects played central roles in an institutional reorganization effort called “TIGER” that aimed to reestablish the company’s market leadership position it had lost to competitors. Other papers, including the “Ice Tea project” series, document business ventures aimed at expanding and refining Thomson’s operations.

Ten of Gorog's lab notebooks (1964-1984) from his time at RCA Laboratories can be found in Record group 26 of the David Sarnoff Research Center records (Accession 2464.09)
