Arnold Meyer Spielberg (February 6, 1917 – August 25, 2020) was an American electrical engineer of Jewish descent.
He was known for his help "to real-time data acquisition and recording that significantly contributed to the definition of modern feedback and control processes". For General Electric he designed, with his colleague Charles Propster, the GE-225 in 1959. He said that his greatest contribution was to be the first computer-controlled "point of sale" cash register.
He was the father of movie director Steven Spielberg.
Spielberg died on August 25, 2020 at his home in Los Angeles, aged 103.
