[GreenKeys] MITE

One of the questions I've been harboring is, who is Bernard Howard and
where did he come from and where did he go?  There is a little author
biography for his article in Western Union Technical Review for April
1958.

"Bernard Howard, Vice President for Engineering of the Teleprinter
Corporation, attended the University of Idaho and the New Mexico
School of Mines.  He has spent the past 15 years doing engineering
design in the fields of aerial navigation, communication and wire
recording, for such corporations as Bendix Aviation, Federal
Telecommunidations Laboratories, Fada Radio and Electric Company,
and Air Associates.  Mr. Howard holds many patents (in addition to
those awarded in connection with his work with the Teleprinter
Corporation and assigned to them), encompassing inventions in the
fields of magnetic recording devices, preselector tuning mechanisms,
aircraft instruments, and for several classified navigational
and communications devices."

The first teleprinter patent I found for him is 2,727,944 filed in 1953 
and issued in 1955.  Then there are
2,769,029 filed 1954 issued 1956
2,913,089
2,913,517
2,918,527
2,918,528
2,929,872
2,942,065
2,965,204
2,927,402
2,977,413
3,006,985
3,063,540
3,227,259
3,255,312
3,255,314
3,334,719  filed 1964 issued 1967

That's a lot of patents for one guy over a span of 12 years or so.  I 
haven't found any other patents issued to anybody connected with MITE
Corp. for teleprinters - everything else I found pertains to sewing
machines.
