BOARD OF TRUSTEES

3, Music typewriter — Lejaren A. Hiller, Jr., Assistant Professor of Music, and Cecil Emnger, Department of Music, University of Colorado, inventors. This invention is an electrified music typewriter linked to a five-channel punched paper tape punch and reading unit or, alternatively, a unit for punched cards or coded magnetic tape. It was referred to the University of Illinois Foundation for Study and report back to the Committee as to possible commercial value. A report has been received that there is little likelihood of any commercial value and that this is only a part of a larger number of components developed elsewhere. The Committee recommends release of the rights of the University in this invention to the inventors. 4, Dynamic crossed-field electron multiplier — D. F. Holshouser, Research Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering, inventor. This invention is a device that multiplies the intensity of a primary electron beam by means of secondary emission. It has been reported that there are possibilities of commercial development of this invention. The Committee recommends release of the rights of the University in it to the University of Illinois Foundation for filing a patent application, with recognition of the rights of the sponsoring agency, the United States Air Force, I concur in these recommendations.

On motion of Mr. Clement, these recommendations were approved. On motion of Mr, Clement, the Board adjourned.
