Marvin Camras
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marvin Camras (January 1, 1916 - June 23, 1995) was an important pioneer in the field of magnetic recording. He developed his first basic wire recorder in the 1930s. His early recorders were vital in the misinformation of World War II. He also developed multi-track tape recording, magnetic sound for motion pictures, and the video tape recorder.
Camras was a long time faculty member at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT or Illinois Tech) and researcher at IIT Research Institute in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He received a Bachelor of Science in 1940 from Armour Institute of Technology (which in 1940 merged with Lewis Institute and became Illinois Institute of Technology) and a Master of Science in 1942 from the same institution. In 1968, IIT awarded him an honorary doctorate.
