Bill Richardson, who graduated from Auburn in 1969 with a master\u2019s degree in electrical engineering, spent 26 years working for International Paper (IP) at a time when computer-control innovation was on the rise. Richardson and a team of co-workers, including Auburn engineering alums John Botts (’64 and ’66 mechanical engineering) and Wayne Dobson (’69 electrical engineering), pioneered such efforts for the company, resulting in the first fully computer-controlled paper mill in the world in 1981. Richardson recently detailed the team\u2019s experiences of building a paper mill around the computer for the Computer History Museum of Mountain View, Calif.\u00a0 His report<\/a> can be found in the museum\u2019s permanent archive collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
