Abstract:

Yngvar Lundh was instrumental in the development of some of Norway’s earliest digital computers, having started his investigation of digital electronics in the 1950s. He continued his involvement with digital computers and digital communications for the next 40 years. A 10 April 2017 article about Lundh in the Norwegian online information and telecommunications newspaper digi.no quotes another pioneer of Norwegian computing, saying, “Yngvar Lundh is the most important person in Norwegian IT ever.” The pioneering digital work at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment is the focus of Lundh’s report here, particularly the hardware development activities and early involvement with internetworking.
