Carl
F. J. Overhage, a retired professor of electrical engineering and former
director of the Lincoln Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, died on Aug. 7 at St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe, N.M. He was 85
and lived in Santa Fe. The cause was a stroke, said Arthur Hemmendinger, a
friend, who reported the death. Born in London, Dr. Overhage divided his career
between photography and electronics. He graduated from the California Institute
of Technology, where he also earned his master's and doctoral degrees. He
worked for both the Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation and the
color-control department of the Eastman Kodak Company. In 1944 he was issued a
patent for a design of eyeglasses that made color movies appear
three-dimensional. He spent much of World War II at the Radiation Laboratory of
M.I.T. and returned to it in 1955 when it had become the Lincoln Laboratory. He
was a laboratory division chief in charge of aircraft control when he was named
director in 1957. He retired in 1973 after overseeing an M.I.T. program to
develop a system of information-transfer techniques for libraries.
