Thimble full of I.C., 23 July 1969. [Photo index]. "Electronic Packaging" is the process of designing, assembling, and interconnecting electronic components to create subsystems for spacecraft. In the 1960s, tiny integrated circuit chips like the 8,000 or so in this thimble had to be soldered by hand to join them with other components. An article in the March 1969 issue of Lab-Oratory (the predecessor to Universe) described technological developments such as fine wire welding and printed conductor patterns that made it possible for components to become much smaller and lighter.

One of the first people hired at GALCIT Project #1 in November 1941 was photographer George Emmerson (1913-1994), an emigrant from Newcastle, Great Britain. Audrey Voice and Mary J. Taylor as photographer's assistants joined Emmerson in 1943. Emmerson took almost all the early photos that became a part of this collection, a collection described in brief as the work product of the JPL Photolab. As JPL grew, so did the assignments to the Photolab to photograph all Laborato...
