While Elliott spent 1942 through 1945 conducting war research at the Radio Research Laboratory, he still continued to work on his radio apparatus developments for Galvin During much of his career, Elliott independently designed, developed, and marketed February 2013 Page Guide to the Harold F Elliott Papers (2003-36, History San Jose) various radio apparatus, such as push-button, remote control, and clock control mechanisms for radio receivers and transmitters His work resulted in over 80 U.S patents, issued from 1920 through 1966 From 1953 into the early 1960s, Elliott worked as a consultant at the Hewlett-Packard Company on technology related to digital printers and clocks In addition to his electrical engineering work, Elliott was an accomplished photographer During his undergraduate studies at Stanford, he managed the Campus Photo Shop and was the student manager of the 1916 Quad (the student yearbook) (Elliott appears to have been a contemporary of Stanford photographer Berton W Crandall.) He continued with his photography throughout his lifetime, taking photographs for both professional and personal purposes During the 1950’s, Elliott’s work was shown in multiple photography exhibits, including an exhibit held at the Stanford University Art Gallery He also spoke about his photography at local camera clubs Throughout his lifetime, Elliott remained connected with Stanford University He worked with or corresponded with other Stanford University electrical engineering alumni throughout his career, such as Ralph R Beal, James Arthur Miller, Clinton H Suydam, Herman P Miller, Hans Otto Storm, Dr Frederick E Terman, Charles V Litton, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard Elliott’s personal correspondence refers to attendance at Stanford University football games and other activities In his later years, he served as a part-time lecturer in the Engineering Department and on the 50th Anniversary Stanford Engineering Scholarship Fund Committee Elliott married 1924 Stanford University graduate and accomplished musician Winifred Estabrook One common interest between the couple was their love of classical music Their personal correspondence mentions Estabrook’s musical performances and their attendance at various music events In later years, Estabrook acted as his personal secretary In 1954, the couple moved into the custom home Elliott had designed at 800 Westridge Drive in Portola Valley, California Elliott died at age 77 on January 24, 1970 in San Mateo, California Estabrook died at age 82 on January 20, 1977 in Santa Clara, California Collection Overview Correspondence, technical drawings, computations, patent materials, photographs, sketches and notes regarding electrical engineer Harold F Elliott’s prolific work as an inventor of various radio apparatus and as a consulting engineer with such companies as the Federal Telegraph Company, the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation (Motorola, Inc.), the Victor Talking Machine Co and the

correspondence, technical manuals, pamphlets and reference notebooks Separate files detail the step-by-step process of obtaining patents for over 30 of his radio apparatus inventions The papers also contain a significant amount of personal materials from Elliott and his wife Winifred Estabrook, including personal correspondence, financial and real estate records, educational material, and musical performance and art exhibition programs Elliott’s interest in photography is well-documented through photography equipment brochures, photography club circulars, and news clippings regarding Elliott's exhibitions and talks Over 1,100 black and white photographs taken by Elliott portray his days at Stanford University (1911-1916), his inventions, and the landscapes of California and the American
