Allen-Bradley

He received both his Master"s and Doctor"s degrees in engineering sciences at the Institute of Technology in Dresden (Germany) in 1937, working under Doctor Heinrich Barkhausen. His thesis subject was on the "Entrainment of Oscillators and Sub-Harmonics". During World World War II he served in the Kriegsmarine working his way from the rank of Naval Engineer (Marinebaurat) to Lieutenant-Commander (Korvettenkapitan). Near the end of the war he was sent on a special mission to transport high-technology information and supplies to Japan on board the submarine U-234. On May 8, 1945, the war with Germany ended, and on May 14 the U-234 surrendered to the United States. Schlicke was taken to a secret Prisoner Of War camp codenamed P. O.

In September, 1950 he accepted a job with the Allen-Bradley Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to manage the development of ferrite based electronic components. While working there, he authored the book Essentials of Dielectromagnetic Engineering in 1961 which deals with ferrites and dielectric materials. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he became involved with Electromagnetic compatibility Electric Membership Corporation issues, becoming the president of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Electromagnetic Compatibility Society, and in 1967 an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Fellow. He retired from Allen-Bradley in 1974, but continued to work in the Electric Membership Corporation field by consulting and authoring another book Electromagnetic Compossibility in 1982.
