Abstract: After serving for almost a decade as a radar operator in three branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, Eugene Friedman began his career at CBS Radio in 1952. These two technical positions were the starting point for a long eventful career in electrical engineering. When CBS Television started in 1953, Friedman quickly became a design engineer working in the lab facility in the basement of the CBS Broadcast center on West 57th Street. Eventually, he would become manager of the engineering lab and over a 35-year career there he rose to the position of chief engineer in charge of measurements and standards for the network. During his tenure he would go on to develop and work on many groundbreaking innovations and systems. At the forefront of a new industry, Friedman was a go-to guy for fixing any of the issues that came about. When CBS's Television City broadcast facility needed radical redesigning in 1967 Friedman was sent from New York City to Fairfax, California, to supervise the job. In 1971 CBS and Memorex jointly developed the original CMX video editing system and he was a principal design engineer on the project. When football games became televised there were many broadcasting issues that came along with them.
