If you have any computerized photos of
Mostek, please e-mail them to me. I can read most

Here are some new images that
we scanned in. If anyone has more information about these photos, send

Fab 1 CVD. Chen Young (left) and Jerry Beatty (right). The machine
Chen is looking into is the Hugle Reactor. (Thanks to Jerry Narahara!).
Julie Nichols thinks the guy on the right is Harold Rolle. Nice sideburns
either way! |

It Works! Dave Leonard says:
The photo was taken upon the first testing in late-1970 of the
world's first single-chip calculator circuit. The people in the
photo are: far left - Gaynel Lockhart (logic designer); front left
is Jim Imai (independent consultant of Japanese ancestry who lived
in California and who assisted in our relations with Japanese companies);
behind Jim's right arm is probably Gordon Byrd (company comptroller);
far back is Berry Cash, VP; between Berry and Jim is L.J. Sevin,
President; then Richard Petty (chip layout specialist who laid out
the chip); can't see the person in far background; then Dave Leonard
(chip circuit designer); probably Bob Crawford (Engineering Manager)
whose face is mostly blocked by upraised arm; Lee Kepley (product
engineering); and Louay Sharif, VP (deceased - killed in a robbery
at his home).

Mickey Mouse on the MK5017 clock chip from early 70's. I know they
were contacted by Disney lawyers about this. Does anyone remember
the scoop? Elmer Guritz says:
We used to put all sorts of designs on chips, i.e. Woodstock
on an HP calulator chip, a Rat on a Magnavox Chip and of course
Mickey on that clock chip that some foolish person published in
Electronics Magazine.

Here is a picture of Anthony Cummins and his Mostek Flying Club flight
instructor, Greg Lievan, from September 6, 1979, when he did his first
solo flight out at Addison Airport. "I believe Greg was a front-end
engineer who worked around Fab1. I hated to lose the T-shirt, but
it was just too cool-looking to pass up as a solo souvenir. Your flight
instructor always cuts off part of your shirt, makes the historical
notes on it, and hangs it up on the wall with all the others."

This shot was taken on a very cold Sunday night in the winter of
1972 showing the first Crosby Road site before it expanded.
Previously MOSTEK had been on Upfield Drive about a block away.
Before that I understand MOSTEK was in another location.
The Crosby Road building was the previous site of a computer company
that went belly up - SSS is only thing I seem to remember.
Anyway as MOSTEK, this building was later enlarged adding more FAB
area and more area to the east side of the building.
As Darin Kincaid says : "That's All Folks".
Best Regards, Jim Garrett
Note from Pat Bridges:
The building on Upfield was first occupied by SCC which stand
for Scientific Computer Corp. because I worked there from 1969 to
1970 when it went feet up.
