Show morePhotograph of Chicago native and Illinois tech alumnus Marvin Camras, who created an innovative magnetic recording head during his undergraduate years that improved sound quality by impressing a recording symmetrically on a wire by the gap of air between the wire and the head. His research led to developments that underlie many modern recording and communication techniques. Photographer unknown. Date of photograph is unknown. Date range listed is approximate. Show less

Show morePhotograph of the Armour Research Foundation Chemistry Research Building 2 prior to demolition in 1975. The building, located at 55 East 33rd Street, was constructed in the 1920s, remodeled in 1950, and demolished in 1975. The former Huber & Huber trucking terminal was acquired by the Armour Research Foundation in 1949. This building housed the Institute for Psychological Services in the years immediately prior to its demolition in 1975. Also known as: Huber and Huber Motor Express Building (1920s-1949), Armour Research Foundation Physics Research Building (ca. 1950s), Armour Research Foundation Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Building No. 2 (1959), Armour Research Foundation Service (1961), 33rd and Wabash Building (1960s), Wabash Building (1960s).
