A counterpart to a Bell System film from 1974 called "The Engineer", this film profiles females engineers working in Bell Labs. Filmed in 1975, this film served double-duty as a recruitment film for female engineering students, and was also shown in high schools and colleges. Five women in the Bell System are profiled: Carol Latimer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, Jerri Jackson in the Carolinas, Bev Miles in Colorado, Sharon Fujitani in the Midwest, and Tony Leach in the Pacific Northwest.
We've tried to track down all of these women today to get their impressions of the film, but couldn't find any of them. If you know any of them, please contact us! We'd love to add their comments to this film about what it was like being an engineer in the Bell System in 1975.
