Don't you miss the old Program, Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews

It has been so many years since we had PDR’s, CDR’s and other reviews. The hardest ones were the internal ones that we had to do for Perkin-Elmer’s own upper management including Arnie Wallace who really made you sweat. These were followed by the real ones for our customers and their consultants. Some of their questions were tough and some were inane such as “when do you expect to get your connectors delivered.” I remember Marty Yellin starting his presentation with a questions for John Love, a customer consultant “Any questions so far John?” Here is a photo and an identification chart of one of the last Program Review in the mid eighties.
