Reynolds started his career during the 1930s as a ra<io engineer for the University of Chicago. wh ... e he had majored in the humanities and minored in electronic engineering. Later he worked for NBC, CBS. and radio station WGN (Mutual Broa.rasUng System) in Chicago.

&epn Work on Proximity Fuzes The hOnoree's career in fuzing begam

during Worid War n. when be became a member of a pioneer team developing VT (prosimity) fu""s for the Navy Bureau 01 Ordnance at the Applied Physics Laboratory. John Hopkins University. There he participated in, and later directed, the design and field testing 01 VT fuzes for Navy 3- and f>.inch gm-launcbed projec­tiles.

Significant breakthroughs resulUng from this early effort were the design of the first reserve battery for fuze lEe. soluUon of the rain impact problem on VT fuzes. and the applicaUon of statistical analysis to the field evaluation of VT fuzes. These first crude praUnity fuzes. along with radar and the at<mic homb. ""re later hsiled as the three outstan<ing tecillologicai achievements ol World War II.

On April 6, 1909, lhe North Pole was rNched by Robert E. Peary, his Negro assistant, Matthew A. Henson, and four Eskimos.

Peary's feelings about Henson lead to his statement that:

"1 have taken him on each and all of my e~pedillons, except !he flrsl, and also without exception on Hch of my farthesl sledge Irlps. This posillon I have given him primarily because of his adapl.billly and fitness for !he work, and secondly on account of his loyally.

"He is a better dog driver and can handle a sledge better than any man living except some of the best Eskimo hunters. I couldn't get along without him."

FoDowing World War II. ReynoleE ae>­cOJted a posiUIII as chief engineer for a small radio network in Riverside, Calif .• where from 1946-50 he designed and built four AM radio stations in Riverside County. the first large FM station (KPOR) in Riverside. and FM station KRPO in San Jose.

He had risen to vlce1Jresidelt for engineering in the firm when the Korean War eropted. Soon afterward he received a telephone call from BuOrd asking him to return to proximity f\l2ll! work.

Frlm 1~54. Reynolds worked as a fuze design engineer. and later as VT Fuze Unit Head. for Bu~d. There be began planning an elp8Dded Navy program III the research and development of proximity fuzes. establisbed fuze design requirements. supervised fuze ,production. and set up military standards for fuze tesing and production. He also originated the Clllce\t of h...metically sealing fuzes to extend service life.

In the elrly 1950·s. he beeane an acUve campaign ... for a Navy guided missile fu1J! acUvity and conducted tbe study that resulted in the recommendaUon that such an acU vity be organized and located at what was then a Navy hospital site in Corona. Tn

1953 bis dream became a reality. and Reynolds was selected to direct the <rderly transfer of National Bureau of Standards, Anny. and Navy fuze pelSODD~ to the Corona site. which became the Naval Ord­nance IJi boratory. Corona.

OIher V.luable Conlrlbutions

In 1954, he joined the Fuze Department at Corona as assisant for p181l8and prograns, a positlm he has held for 21 years. An active contribufDr fD Navy fuzing plans and programs. he established current philosopby and policy relative to fuze electronic countermeasures logic and electronic counter-countermeasure techniques; developed the cmce\t 01 fu1J! value engineering. whicb was firs applied to Sidewind ... fuzes; ewlved the basic In­centive formula stm !Bed in the aoeeptance testing of fuzes; and implemented procedlres that a.aborized NOLC to iniUate cortract requirements tirougb the Navy PurclBsing Office in Los Angeles.
