The Arthur A Collins Legacy - A Culture of Innovation DVD

Description: This 24 minute documentary, two years in the making, provides a unique insight into Arthur Collins, founder of Collins Radio, emphasizing the remarkable culture of innovation he created at Collins Radio. The Collins culture of excellence in innovation stemmed from a challenging work environment, attracting aspiring engineers who sought not the highest salary but rather the opportunity to make dramatic advances in state-of-the-art electronics. “It is a story of vision, innovation, and leadership in the technology arena that will inspire anyone interested in the historical technical events that helped shape our world today.” - Rod Blocksome, President, Arthur A. Collins Legacy Association. Ironically, for an expert in communication, Arthur Collins was a shy person outside his immediate cadre of engineers and close friends, and avoided personal publicity. The documentary contains collected interviews from those who knew and worked with Arthur Collins. Their open and candid remarks are spiced with fascinating stories of his prescient vision into future technology, his breath of expertise, and his extraordinary ability to absorb knowledge. At Collins Radio, Collins and his core of select engineers designed and over the many decades, built what came to be recognized as the pinnacle of achievement in electronics; spanning avionics, amateur radio, broadcast radio, micro-electronics, military and space communications, systems engineering, and later computer-controlled factory processes, data networks, and message switching. “The Antique Wireless Association is pleased to have collaborated with the Arthur A. Collins Legacy Association to produce this documentary on the legacy and the legend of Arthur Collins as captured in words of those who lived, worked, and knew Art and shared his passion for excellence.” – Robert Hobday, Executive Producer and Deputy Director, Antique Wireless Association The DVD is a production of the Antique Wireless Association and the Arthur A.
