Spudboy,
Yes, that fits what I remember. I had been in Mechanical Engineering
until an elective course in statistics diverted me into Industrial
Engineering -- that was like being lost and suddenly turning a corner and
recognizing you were home. I didn't know I had been unhappy until suddenly I
found something that was always fun.
But the point is I basically quit keeping up with that whole corner of
engineering in 1964. I probably didn't think about it again until the 80s or
90s.
I couldn't figure out how a 1982 treaty killed an idea that I was
reading about back in the 60s -- now all is much more clear.
