Henry Parsons Hall (June 28, 1928 - July 17, 2023) graduated from Williams College in 1949 and MIT in 1952 before joining General Radio as a co-op student in 1949.
He then worked for close to forty years for the same company until his retirement from GenRad in 1993 as a staff scientist.
He is credited with the design of the Digibridge instrument and invented the Orthonull mechanism (see 1650-A).
Hall was a Life Fellow of the IEEE and one of only three General Radio Fellows.
