Interesting that he mentioned modeling a company after the early Bell Labs, I started my career there in the 1960 ,s and it was populated with Scientists that were often the tech leaders in their fields who worked in an extremely productive environment.BTL picked graduating scientists who were in the top of their class at Colleges with the tech leadership they wanted and then sent them on to other colleges to more post grad work before they began their work at BTL .Worked great till they broke up ATT and BTL.
