Memoir/Biography - Cassius Chapin Cutler

(introduction) The economy was in deep depression between 1928 and 1934 and the country went to World War II between 1939 and 1945. Cassius Chapin Cutler built his character and the strength in those chaotic years. He led a successful career of research in communication science for more than four decades. His inventions in radio, radar, signal coding, imaging, and satellite communication earned him more than 80 patents, numerous awards and a worldwide reputation. Shortly after he received the Alexander Graham Bell Medal from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Cutler said in the spring 1992 issue of the WPI Journal: "I don't think I'm really that smart. I just think my imagination got turned on at an early age and that gave me tremendous motivation."
