		Draper's laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was a centre for the design of navigational and guidance systems for ships, airplanes, and missiles from World War II through the Cold War.
		The monologuist and monodramatist Ruth Draper was acclaimed throughout the United States and Europe for her delicate but vivid character sketches, which she performed on a bare stage with few props.
		John Stark was born on Aug. 28, 1728, in Londonderry, N.H. During the French and Indian War he served as an officer with Rogers' Rangers.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: 18 Arrested in Draper Lab Protest
		Lindsay said Draper, which he said gets three quarters of its income from defense-related contracts, designs and produces guidance systems for the Trident, Cruise, and MX missiles.
		Yesterday's protest was organized by the Draper Peace Conversion Group, which Lindsay described as a group consisting of local students and various peace activists.
		Draper Laboratories was created by MIT and still retains informal ties with the university MIT divested itself of the facility in 1971 after students protested its defense ties, Lindsay said.

		The ring laser gyro guidance system, designed in the Charles Stark Draper Laboratories of M.I.T. and built at Honeywell in Clearwater, Florida, was failing.
		The Charles Stark Draper Laboratories are housed in two imposing, circular towers on the M.I.T. campus.
		These circular structures translate into offices and laboratories designed so that work is always "right around the bend" from a colleague.

	U.S. GAO - B-292895.2, Kearfott Guidance & Navigation Corporation, May 25, 2004
		David R. Hazelton, Esq., Latham & Watkins, for The Charles Stark Draper Laboratories, an intervenor.
		Furthermore, the record supports SSP’s determination that, contrary to Kearfott’s position, Draper’s unique, comprehensive knowledge of the interrelationships of the MK 6 guidance system and its various components with the overall Trident II (D-5) missile and its various subsystems was necessary to meeting the ISF requirement.
		Again, that is all predicated on being able to understand the overall interrelationship and interaction amongst all of these subsystems, and that was Draper’s responsibility in the initial development of the system, and continues to be as we monitor that.

		WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 -- The National Academy of Engineering has awarded the 1999 Charles Stark Draper Prize to three major figures in the development of fiber optics -- Charles K. Kao, Robert D. Maurer, and John B. MacChesney.
		Kao theorized about how to use light for communication instead of bulky copper wire while working at ITT's Standard Telecommunications Laboratories in the 1960s.
		Four years later, MacChesney and his colleagues at ATandT Bell Laboratories -- now Lucent Technologies -- developed the Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition process, which allows for the mass production of optical fiber.

		Pierce, while working at ATandT Bell Laboratories, was able to realize this bold new concept by designing and launching the now-famous Telstar 1, the world's first active communication satellite.
		Rosen, while at Hughes Aircraft, then took satellites a leap forward by devising an ingenious method of placing the Syncom II satellite in geosynchronous orbit -- orbiting at the same rate as the Earth's rotation, so it appeared to remain at one fixed location in the sky.
		Whenever we make a call or send a fax overseas, make a bank transaction or plan a trip based on a weather forecast, we should thank Pierce and Rosen."
