The Honeywell group was a group of people in the Honeywell Computer Control Division in Framingham, Massachusetts who studied Conway's Game of Life in the 1970s. Members of the group included Thomas Holmes, Keith McClelland, Michael Sporer, Philip Stanley, Don Woods, and his father William Woods.[1] Many of their discoveries were reported contemporaneously in Lifeline and later by Martin Gardner in Scientific American.
