Invented, designed, and built by Raymond Scott
ELECTRONIUM		   - Beginning in the 1950s, Raymond Scott designed and built the first of many very different versions of THE RAYMOND SCOTT ELECTRONIUM, a keyboard-less, automatic composition and performance machine. This invention engaged the attention of Berry Gordy, who hired Scott as Motown's Director of Electronic Research and Development.
