Technology — Signals, Power, Computers, and the Network This Ground Actually Has
Granger's technology record is the record of technologies arriving from elsewhere onto ground that manufactured almost none of them — telegraphed from a railroad agency, electrified by a cooperative organized one county south, computed at a university across the township line, and networked, in the end, by other cities' fiber and one startup's radios in its own subdivisions. This addendum digs each shortfall row whole: the first signals, the founding works that were not here, the war-production test, the consumer chapter, the computing firsts, the successions, the research institutions, the two parks, the network question, and the modern layer with the people who built the base. Item 4 of the register stands covered in the banked businesses leg and is not reopened.
The first signals: a wireless message over the lake, a telegraph key at the Granger depot
ITEM 1 · 1899 · BOUNDARY: NOTRE DAME; THE GROUND'S OWN WIRE BELOW
The pattern case for this checklist item happened a mile from this ground's western line, and it is also this section's: on April 19, 1899, Jerome J. Green, head of the electrical department at the University of Notre Dame…
The founding works: no factory stood here — the works were lines, poles, and a cooperative
ITEM 2 · 1935–1938 AND AFTER
The checklist's founding-works pattern — a streetlight or electrical factory, an anchor firm's local plant — tests negative on this ground, and the works that actually founded its electrical age are carried here at their true…
War production: the test, run whole, and what it found
ITEM 3 · TESTED NEGATIVE · 1941–1945
No war-production technology was built on this ground in the Second World War, and the test that establishes it is printed whole: the candidate the checklist names is St. Joseph's Farm, the Congregation of Holy Cross's roughly…
The consumer-technology chapter: the wash that builds its own machines
ITEM 5 · 1997–PRESENT
Drive & Shine, the family-owned car-wash chain headquartered at 16915 Cleveland Road (banked whole in the businesses leg: founded 1997 on the company profiles; Haji Tehrani's founding motive, in the company's own recruiting copy…
Computing firsts: a center founded in 2005, and two firsts the record does not give
ITEM 6 · NAMED GAP IN PART — GAP-84-6
The computing-center-as-institution is dug and dated; the two machine firsts are not in the open record, and the item closes with them named: The university's own sources date the center two ways — "established in 2005" in its…
The divided-works succession: three chains, traced to their present holders
ITEM 7 · 1871–2025
No technology works on this ground ever split, because none stood here — so the succession the checklist requires is the succession of the systems that serve the ground, and all three chains end at named present holders: The wire…
Three Notre Dame Research Centers
ITEM 8 · 1977–PRESENT
NDnano — Notre Dame's Center for Nano Science and Technology, formally established in 1999 under founding director Gerry Iafrate (Wolfgang Porod succeeding in 2001; Alan Seabaugh director from January 2018), built on Lent and…
The two parks: Innovation Park and Ignition Park as technology real estate, and the EKI tenant statement
ITEM 9 · 2009–PRESENT · BOUNDARY: SOUTH BEND / NOTRE DAME
The two-parks pattern exists whole in this county — as a single state-certified technology park in two sites, both outside this CDP, with a tenant record that can be read whole: Ignition Park (the Sample Street site, some 140…
The place's own network: there isn't one — and what reaches the rooftops instead
ITEM 10 · THE TEST, AND THE PRESENT STATE AS OF THE FCC RECORD OF DECEMBER 31, 2025
Granger owns no network: The one network enterprise ever founded to serve this ground's homes as its purpose is private and recent: NFINET , a startup whose offer, reported in May 2021, was residential gigabit over dedicated…
The modern layer, and the movers: a closing roster
ITEM 11 · THE PRESENT LAYER AND THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT THE BASE
The modern layer stands in three pieces, all banked or dug in this run, and then the roster names the people: the Microsoft EKI campus (banked whole in businesses — the hyperscale arrival on the old St. No health-software firm…
