The Roland A. Lynn collection of RCA documents, 1955-1957.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/725373265

The Roland A. Lynn collection consists of copies of official RCA files pertaining to Lynn's work on the Mark I and Mark II music synthesizers, the first full-range electronic music synthesizers. The records include Lynn's original hand-written notes and copies of RCA research bulletins and product literature for the various components used in the synthesizers, requiring the user to be well-grounded in both electronic engineering and music. Lynn's work was heavily focused on the components needed to produce individual instrument sounds and on high-fidelity sound and phonograph pickup generally. The files include sheet music for the orchestration of test songs such as "Three O'Clock in the Morning," "Flight of the Bumblebee," "Silent Night," and others.
