Who? Well Schlafly, who has died aged 91, developed the first transportable satellite uplink system using a massive 26 foot dish - forerunner to today's uplink trucks.

Also, probably better known as inventing the Teleprompter, forerunner of the Autocue, without which no modern-day TV presenter and newsreader can do without :-rofl2
