Ralph H. Baer (1922- ) was born in Germany and immigrated to
the United States with his family in 1938. A graduate of the
National Radio Institute (1940), Baer worked as a radio technician
in the New York City area servicing all types of home and auto
radios. During World War II, Baer served in the United States
Army, one year stateside, and two years in Europe. He was assigned
to Military Intelligence and became an expert on military small
arms. Baer returned to the United States with eighteen tons
of foreign small arms for use in exhibits at Aberdeen, Maryland,
Springfield, Massachusetts Armory and Ft. Riley, Kansas.
After the war, Baer attended the American Television Institute
of Technology in Chicago, graduating with a BS in television engineering.
In 1949, Baer joined a small electro medical equipment firm, Wappler,
Inc., as their chief engineer. He designed and built surgical
cutting machines, epilators, and low frequency pulse generating
muscle-toning equipment. In 1951, Baer moved to Loral Electronics
of Bronx, New York as a senior engineer designing power line carrier
signaling equipment for IBM. During 1952-1956, Baer worked at
Transitron, Inc., in New York City as a chief engineer and later
as vice president. In 1956, Baer joined Sanders Associates in
Nashua, New Hampshire building airborne radar components. He became
manager of the Electronic Design Department at Sanders and eventually
Division Manager and Chief Engineer for Equipment Design. Baer
retired in 1987.
At Sanders in 1966, Baer began an independent project experimenting
with ways for consumers to interact with standard home television
sets. Development of interactive TV Game (TVG) ideas became a
company-supported project continued by Baer and assisted by William
H. Harrison and William T. Rusch (download
the TV game chronology prepared by Ralph Baer in 2006).
By mid-1967, ping pong videogames were played inside Sanders,
patent disclosures were applied for, and hardware was designed.
Baer and his associates called the devices they were developing
“boxes” and numbered the various versions one through
seven. In 1971, Magnavox became Sanders Associates’ first
videogame licensee. Between 1972 and 1975, Magnavox produced and
sold over 700,000 units of Odyssey, a set of games played on its
television receivers. Atari became a licensee in 1976 after the
first of many lawsuits won by Sanders in pursuit of patent infringements.
During his tenure at Sanders and thereafter, Baer has been
a prolific inventor. His creations include many electronic toys
and games and other consumer electronic products. Among the
better known product based on Baer’s work are Milton Bradley’s
Simon, Galoob’s Smarty Bear Video, and Kenner’s
Laser Command. In 2004 President George W. Bush awarded Baer
the National Medal of Technology.
Baer married Dena Whinston in 1952 and they had three children,
James, Mark, and Nancy.
The Ralph Baer Papers include autobiographical materials and
an extended oral history interview. The Papers also include
materials about military small arms created by Baer during his
World War II service. The largest portion of the collection
documents Baer’s work on video games.
Series 1, Autobiographical Documents, 2000-2006,
provides detailed documentation of Baer’s life. An unpublished
autobiographical manuscript, One Inventor’s Odyssey: The
Life Story of an Engineer and Inventor (463 pages), is found
in hardcopy and, in several versions, as electronic text on
a CD. Baer’s book, Videogames: In the Beginning, 2005
(Rolenta Press, 2005), draws on the manuscript and reproduces
many of the documents in Series 4. David Allison, Chair and
Curator of the Museum’s Division of Information Technology
and Communications, was the principal interviewer in an April,
2003 oral history with Baer. Lasting approximately three hours,
the interview focuses on Baer’s work with television video
games but also touches on his life history, his other inventions,
the invention process, and the legal complexity surrounding
his inventions. There are original and reference audio tapes
and an abstract and summary of the interview.
Series 2, WWII Small Arms Documents, 1943-1953,
consists primarily of textual information and photographs gathered
on European small arms during Baer’s military service.
The information was used in preparing training courses for military
intelligence schools in England and France. One folder of correspondence
documents Baer’s efforts to publish some of his writings
on machine guns and other arms.
Series 3, Hans Otto Mauksch materials, 1944-1964,
consist primarily of textual documents and photographs describing
the Military Intelligence group activities during World War
II in Europe. Hans Otto Mauksch (1917-) and Ralph Baer were
assigned to the Military Intelligence Training team (12th Reinforcement
Depot) during World War II in Europe. Baer met Mauksch on the
Mata Roa, a British freighter while traveling from New York
to Liverpool in 1944.
Hans O. Mauksch was the leader of the Military Intelligence
group in England and was the first to conceive of the idea of
a military intelligence team to train troops on enemy subjects.
Sent to Europe in February 1944, Mauksch led an effort to amass
enemy weapons for the purposes of establishing a museum in Tidworth,
England, to train officers and enlisted men to handle enemy
weapons and to learn quickly their characteristics and capabilities.
Ultimately, a small arms museum was established in France and
then arms were shipped to the United States to establish small
arms exhibits, particularly at Ft. Riley, Kansas.
Series 4, TV Game Documents, 1966-1972, consists
of records created during Baer’s work on interactive television
games at Sanders Associates. The records include notes, drawings,
engineering schematics, laboratory notebooks, and administrative
records created by Ralph Baer, William H. Harrison, and William
T. Rusch. Baer retrieved these documents, with the assistance
of David
Winter, from a Chicago law firm years after they had been
assembled for the various legal cases involving his television
game inventions. Many of the documents are marked and stamped
as trial exhibits. Rusch’s notebooks include work on an
electric guitar pick-up and other non-television game inventions.
They also contain ideas about a wide range of games that might
be developed. Because these papers were badly disorganized,
the archival staff arranged them in the current order.
The records in Series 4, Subseries 4, consist of copies of
records in Subseries 1-3, apparently created before the originals
were turned over to legal counsel. These documents are arranged
as received from Ralph Baer. They may contain copies of some
documents for which originals do not exist.
