Arnold Meyer Spielberg (February 6, 1917 – August 25, 2020) was an American electrical engineer who was instrumental in contributions to "real-time data acquisition and recording that significantly contributed to the definition of modern feedback and control processes".[1] For General Electric[2] he designed, with his colleague Charles Propster, the GE-225 mainframe computer in 1959.[3] He cited as his greatest contribution the first computer-controlled "point of sale" cash register.[4] His children include filmmaker Steven Spielberg, screenwriter Anne Spielberg and producer Nancy Spielberg.
