OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF NEIL ERNEST WISEMAN
These biographical notes make extensive use of the appreciation given at Wiseman’s funeral by his
Cambridge colleague and former student Peter Robinson
Neil Ernest Wiseman was born in Cowlinge near Newmarket, Suffolk on 19 May 1934.
In 1950 he
joined the Pye electronics company in Cambridge as an apprentice. He studied for a B.Sc. (Eng)
degreein electrical engineering at Queen Mary College, University of London, 1954-1957. During this
time he started working for the Mathematical Laboratory, Cambridge during the vacations, for
example on the construction of a high speed photo-electric paper tape reader. His ability recognised,
arrangements were made for him to spend two years at the University ofIllinois, Urbana-Champaign
to study for a master’s degree in electrical engineering (awarded 1959).
Here he worked as a
research assistant in the Digital Computer Laboratory on the design of circuits for the new Illinois
computer. On his return to Britain his call-up for National Service was deferred to enable him to take
employment with Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd at Borehamwood, Hertfordshire - on behalf of the
Ministry of Aviation. He worked for two years at Elliott Brothers as research engineerin charge of the
advanced circuits and logical techniques group in the Data Processing Laboratory.
It was here that
he started working with tunnel diodes, which showed great promise as a high-speed technology.
In 1961 after ten years of intermittent contact Wiseman joined the staff of the University Mathematical
Laboratory, Cambridge as Chief Engineer. He continued working with tunnel diodes and constructed
a prototype store capable of running at 250 megahertz, a phenomenal speedfor the time. The arrival
of one of the world’s first mini-computers, the DEC PDP-7 and its type 340 vector display, presented
new challenges.
Wiseman designed a high-speed data-link to connect this to the main Titan
computer, which probably counts as the world’s first distributed system. It proved a valuable research
tool for work on computer aided design, both for mechanical components and for his own work on
electronic circuits.
The Rainbow integrated CAD system combined electronic design, computer
graphics, data structures and the control of change in large bodies of data. He also began work on
screen editors for text and later a television camera was connected to the PDP-7.

In 1970 Wiseman was approved for a PhD through the submission of published work and was
appointed to a University Lectureship. He was immediately seconded to the Cambridge University
Press where he employed his experiences with PDP-7 display in a project to design and implement a
computerised type-setting system.
Returning to the Computer Laboratory in 1973 he resumed his
work on the Rainbow integrated CAD system with the new PDP-11 computer and Vector General
display. He attracted a great number of PhD students who went on to academic posts around the
world and in research laboratories in Britain and especially on the West coast of America.
In the
1970s he collaborated with David Kindersley in the exploration of the mathematics underlying the
aesthetics of lettering. Towards the end of 1977 he set up a consultancy company Fendragon Ltd
with Kindersley and J. Harradine as directors (later joined by M.J. Jordan and P. Robinson), which
operated in text processing and related areas.
Research in the Computer Laboratory developed with the Rainbow display project, which combined
Wiseman’s interests in electronic design and computer graphics.
He ran the Diploma course in
computer science, looked after general graduate admissions and played a key role
in the
establishment of the hardware laboratory for undergraduate practical work. He declined offers of
chairs at other universities, preferring to remain in Cambridge.
In 1983 he became a Fellow of
Wolfson College and in 1986 a personal Readership in Computer Graphics was created for him. He
died of cancer on 13 June 1995 after a year’s illness.
DESCRIPTION
This small archive is principally concerned with two periods of Wiseman’s career: the 1960s when he
was Chief Engineer in the Mathematical Laboratory, University of Cambridge, and the late 1970s to
early 1980s when wasinvolved in a great range of computer consultancy work. It covers the period
1959-2002.
Section A, Biographical, consists solely of material printed from the web: photograph, appreciation by
Peter Robinson at Neil Wiseman's funeral on 26 June 1995, bibliography and 'Neil Wiseman Memorial
Fund’.
Section B, University Mathematical Laboratory (UML), Cambridge, is the largest in the collection.
It
documents Wiseman’s research and involvementin a range of UML activities including tunnel diode
work, Titan computer project, computer stores, data-links, computer aided design, computer graphics,
text editors, television camera for the PDP-7 mini-computer and Diploma course. The documentation
includes correspondence, notes, drafts, programs, data, specifications, circuit diagrams, technical
memoranda, reports, and product literature.
Colleagues represented in correspondence and as
authors of memoranda and reports include D.W. Barron, W.S. Elliott, D.F. Hartley, G.B. Herzog

Wilkes.
Companies involved in computer developments are also represented including Elliott
Brothers Ltd, Ferranti Ltd and Plessey Company Ltd.
Section C, Lectures and publications, covers a period of just eleven years, 1963-1974 and, including
only two publications, is hardly comprehensivein respect of the period covered. There are, however,
notes of a small numberof research talks given in Cambridge, 1963-1964, and a record of Wiseman’s
contribution to a course on computer engineering at the Cambridge College of Arts and Technology,
1966-1967.
Section D, Visits and conferences, covers a relatively short period, 1962-1967. Thirteen visits and
conferences are documentedincluding four visits to the USA and conferences in the UK organised by
the Institution of Electrical Engineers and the Institution of Electronic and Radio Engineers.
Section E, Societies and organisations, is slight, with documentation of just four organisations with
which Wiseman was associated.
The most substantial body of material, committee papers and
reports, relates to the Radio Components Research and Development (RCRD) Sub-committee 15:
computer elements, which he joined in 1961, and which was wound up in 1965. The sponsoring
ministry appears to have beenthe Air Ministry while the committee secretary was based at the Royal
Radar Establishment, Malvern, Worcestershire.
Section F, Consultancy, has two components. The first provides some documentation, 1973-1978, of
Wiseman’s association with Graphical Software Ltd run by W-S. Elliott, Professor of Computing at
Imperial College and a former Cambridge colleague. The second, much more substantial component,
documents Wiseman’s own company Fendragon Ltd from its foundation in 1977 to 1983. There are
correspondence and papersrelating to the founding and running of the company,client files and
reports. Among the clients are small computer and electronics companies as well as major national
organisations.
Section G, Correspondence, is the contents of an untitled folder, which comprised correspondence
relating to career, research, patents, publications, equipment, speaking engagements, etc December
1959-1963 and documents relating to patents 1964 and 1969, found with the earlier correspondence.
