Norman Krim

Norman Krim - Raytheon Engineer and Engineering Manager (1933–1948), Vice President Receiving Tube Division (1948-1950) and First Vice President of Raytheon Receiving Tubes, Cathode Ray Tubes and Semiconductor Division (1950–11961). CEO and consultant for Radio Shack. Retired as Raytheon Historian.

Norman B. Krim (1913–2011) was an American electronics engineer and engineering executive. His drive to create a transistor product for the electronics experimenter-hobbyist market contributed to paving the path for a generation of American electronics engineers and technicians during the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union.

"The result was that a whole generation of aspiring engineers — kids, really, working in their garages and basements — got to make all kinds of electronic projects. A lot of them went on to become engineers." — Harry Goldstein, editor for IEEE Spectrum magazine.[1]
