ATDDTA (3): Murray Hill 68:10

[Richard Fiero]

AtD 68:10 - "Murray Hill? Eh, I got cousins there."
Bell Labs was founded in 1925 by Walter Gifford then the president of AT&T.
Bell Labs is headquartered at Murray Hill, New Jersey.
 From Philip Mirowski's nook Machine Dreams - In a widely circulated 
story, it is reported that von Neumann told Shannon to link his 
nascent theory of information to thermodynamics: "You should call it 
'entropy' for two reasons: First, the function is already in use in 
thermodynamics under that name; second, and more importantly, most 
people don't know what entropy really is, and if you use the word 
'entropy' in an argument you will win every time!" In 1941 he 
[Shannon] took a job at Bell Laboratories , where he was assigned to 
work on cryptography research in Project X, the development of a 
speech encoder . . . There he collaborated with Alan Turing in 1943 
on cryptography problems but also on their ideas about human brains 
and computers. It is not often noted that Shannon's first ideas on 
information theory were published in a 1945 classified  Bell Labs 
memorandum "A Mathematical Theory of Cryptography."
