The Russian Jewish Encyclopedia entry both Russian-language mirrors cite as their source confirms only the institution and the 1945 start date, not the department name, teaching title, or end date

Both Russian Wikipedia and Cyclowiki name "Российская Еврейская Энциклопедия" [Russian Jewish Encyclopedia] as a source for their entries on Fel'dbaum (claim-feldbaum-russian-mirrors-split-professorship-1945-1961-teaching-1945-1964). Read directly, that entry is far terser than either mirror: "С 1937 работал во Всес. эл.-техн. ин-те, с 1945 – в Воен. арт. академии им. Ф.Э.Дзержинского в Москве. С 1961 рук. лаб. самонастраивающихся систем в Ин-те автоматики и телемеханики" — "From 1937 he worked at the All-Union Electro-Technical Institute; from 1945, at the Dzerzhinsky Military Artillery Academy in Moscow. From 1961, head of the Laboratory of Self-Adjusting Systems at the Institute of Automation and Telemechanics."

It confirms the institution and the 1945 start year, and independently corroborates 1961 as the year Fel'dbaum's primary post changed — but it names no department, no "missile control systems" or "rocket control systems" title, and no 1964 or other end date for the academy tenure. The specific, load-bearing phrase the professorship question turns on is absent from the one named tertiary source its own Wikipedia-family mirrors cite for the surrounding facts. The phrase's actual origin — a fuller print edition, an academy personnel record, or an editor's own inference from "Faculty of Reactive Armament" — was not traced this session.
