Redirect
[edit]This should be a redirect. There is already a full article on the company at Evans and Sutherland AlainV 04:58, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
- That link now redirects to this article. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 22:10, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Notability
[edit]Does the article really merit inclusion in Wikipedia? It's a dinky company. There are hundreds of thousands, perahps million, of companies this size. Most of this article violates policies of neutrality and pushing POV.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsharvy (talk • contribs) 10:54, 19 July 2007
- Ummm, are you sure you understand the policies you're quoting? Maury 12:04, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- In the history of computer technology, you must have no idea who Ivan Sutherland is. 143.232.210.38 (talk) 00:50, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
- 143, you are replying to a comment three years old! But while I agree that Ivan Sutherland is notable, and E&S probably is, the article as it stands has no reliable sources, and therefore does not establish its WP:Notability. --ColinFine (talk) 19:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Rediffusion
[edit]Removed the wikilink to Rediffusion, as the companies referred to on that dab page are not obviously germane - there is no mention of flight simulators. I suspect that the link should actually be to British Electric Traction, but they are not mentioned there either. --ColinFine (talk) 22:59, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Flight Simulation Notes
[edit]Several key E&S employees came from General Electric when the flight simulation division became part of the company. One was Rawlin Evans and another was Gary Starr. As nearly as I can recall, GE didn't see that this would be a profitable undertaking and wanted to close down operations, so the core team went to E&S. These were actually the first people in management who knew how to manufacture a product on a commercial scale. As a former employee of E&S, I can safely say that the relationship with Redifon Simulation/Rediffusion was the cash cow for decades. Redifon flight simulators are still to be found in airline and military pilot training facilities all over the world. There were two product lines - the Novoview and the CT series --17:44, 12 February 2013 (UTC)Mccainre (talk) 18:03, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
Use in movies editorial comments
[edit]I moved these comments from the film and television section:
- E&S's first movie was not the wrath of Khan ... it was many years early in TRON. ...also Jim Blinn uses E&S h/w for much of his NASA animation in the 80's ... I worked at E&S from 1979 ... Rod Olsen
