Banked record, this history lk-tst-honors; Roncz reference record as searched November 2026
The banked inventors record carried Roncz's airfoil computation inside the machinery story; the checklist asks what breakthrough class stands beyond machinery altogether, and the answer is the computation itself. Roncz's beyond-machinery line is software and method: an airfoil-analysis programme written by 1975, in the Heathkit H8 era of home computing, growing into the VSAERO-era computational work by which airfoils were designed on a screen rather than carved and tested — the class of breakthrough that leaves no machine behind it, only a method other designers now use without knowing its author's town. The same class appears once more in the town's record at company size: Gemini Technologies, the firm Roncz founded in 1977, paired its wind-tunnel model work for Ohio State and NASA with a computerized milling machine and its software. The residue is stated expressly: patent subject searching is name-indexed, not place-indexed, so the negative holds at search strength, and the settler for any deeper trawl remains the USPTO and Google Patents subject record read for the town's inventor names entire.
