Max.

Simply amazing.

 

I'm sure a certain working segment of the society welcomed them with that line. It probably was a marketing slogan for that segment.

hi Joe,
I always considered you and XII, as being able to think outside the box ... , glad to see my double entendre was not wasted.

Joking apart, we were glad your lad's were over here.

Eric,

RJ Dippy, a Brit, assured the MIT's Radiation Laboratory, that a time delayed oscilloscope, that produced better than 1 microsecond accuracy can be built, at a time the Yanks were using circular swept scopes. The same conclusion was reached by the two Yanks doing the field experiment of measuring the time difference in Springfield Missouri from two HF pulsed signals, a distance of about 800 miles from the transmitters. It was during the first concept test of what became Loran, during WWII.

The "cousins" did pass vital technical information to one another.

That's very true, Churchill arranged the hand delivery of a Magnetron to your scientists early in WW2, you put it to good use in the Pacific.

Loran and Gee were very useful for flight navigation within Europe.

That was interesting

 

Thanks Max, very interesting. I thought the spike bayonet was in service only after the war.
