Gordon A Roy - Bio.

   Gordon Roy has been at TRIUMF since "before it was a hole in the
   ground"  (June 70).  Initially he was "loaned out" and was involved
   with the construction phase of the main facility, doing layout and
   inspection of the entire building.  He then worked on the original
   ion source for the Centre Region Model (the "CRM", a working 3-MeV
   cyclotron which was the full-scale test for the first 48" of the
   TRIUMF cyclotron), developing with the Controls Group the
   operational controls and consoles.  When the main building was
   complete Gordon began the task of building the first ion source and
   the low-energy beam-transport system known as the Ion Source and
   Injection System ("ISIS)".  In those days employees did everything
   from erecting steel to designing circuit boards.  When the source
   was complete, Gordon designed the interlock system, and again with
   the Controls Group developed the operational programs and the
   Operators consoles.  Since then he has continued to modify the Main
   Control Room as systems change and items are added and/or upgraded.
   Today the main console bears little resemblance to what was there
   initially.  Now the ISAC is to be added.

   Along with this work, Gordon spent over 27 years as a radio
   Broadcast Engineer, producing well over one thousand hockey,
   football, basketball and  baseball broadcasts.  This includes
   nation-wide broadcasts of the "Grey Cup" Game [ed. Canadian
   Superbowl] and the Stanley Cup Finals (NHL Hockey).  He has also
   been involved with radio production studios, "talk show" and 
   recording studio design, construction and problem solving (both
   electrical and acoustical).  Gordon and his partners previously ran
   a company which designed, installed and operated sound systems,
   staging and lighting for numerous stage presentations from High
   School Graduations to the Beach Boys to John Lee Hooker to the
   French National Ballet.  Decades of work on the stage have given
   him a good perspective on lighting, visual presentation and
   acoustics.  He has been a "designer" since high school when he
   won a home-design competition.
