Louis kept thousands of note cards with circuit diagrams and related notes. I've seen a few of them, but from a period later than Forbidden Planet. Whatever remains of Louis's stuff is in the garage of his second wife. I doubt if any of the original circuits still exist. >Please tell them about "Bellerophon" by a band called Under the Dome. Louis died in 1989, but I'm in regular contact with Bebe. I'll pass it along to her - she's always pleased by such things. >Grant was speaking, of course, of the cybernetics theory that >inspired the Barrons. Any information that you could pass along >would be most appreciated. Louis was obsessed with Wiener's work from his first discovery of "Cybernetics" in the New York Public Library circa 1948. Some of the circuits were apparently an attempt at a direct translation of Wiener's diagrams in the book. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://salamandersongs.com http://ill-wind.com
