About Peter Carl Goldmark
Peter Carl Goldmark (born Péter Károly Goldmark; December 2, 1906 – December 7, 1977) was a Hungarian-American engineer who, during his time with Columbia Records, was instrumental in developing the long-playing microgroove 331⁄3 rpm phonograph disc, the standard for incorporating multiple or lengthy recorded works on a single disc for two generations. The LP was introduced by Columbia's Goddard Lieberson in 1948. In addition to his work on the LP record, Goldmark developed field-sequential color technology for color television while at CBS. According to György Marx, Goldmark was one of The Martians. Goldmark worked on televisions for a brief period for the Pye Radio and TV company in Cambridge before moving to the USA to work for CBS.
