Hubert Schlafly, an Emmy Award-winning engineer who helped shape modern television by inventing the teleprompter and executing the first satellite transmission of a cable program, died Wednesday.
 
Schlafly, a longtime Greenwich resident who in recent years moved to the Edgehill retirement community in Stamford, was 91.

Interesting article about him.
