The professor, the industrialist, and the painter

For many years a professor of mathematics and electrical engineering, as well as consultant, Dr. Daniel Noble, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Motorola, Inc., is one of those unusual men who at the right time turned his intellectual capacities to the successful direction of what has become a major and revolutionary new industry — that which has grown out of solid-state electronics. He is now responsible for a complex of facilities at Phoenix, Ariz., involving three divisions and more than 10 000 employees, as well as the Communications Division in Chicago. Dr. Noble is distinguished in many more ways than there is space to list: he pioneered the application of FM to two-way mobile radio communications systems, he is a Fellow and, former Director of both the IRE and the IEEE, and, in 1962, he received the Western Electronics Manufacturers Association's Medal of Achievement for his accomplishments as a scientist, business executive, educator, and civic leader. Not so well known as yet, perhaps, is the fact that he has recently turned his gifts to painting.
