The Tube Guys
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Microwave tubes, a largely unrecognised technology invented at the onset of World War II, have changed the world. The impact of microwave technology on WWII was far greater than the atomic bomb. By the end of the war over ten th ousand people were employed in a few laboratories in the United States and many more in industry. Over the past seventy years, a small group of dedicated people have made continued improvements to this technology and the resulting products affect many aspects of our lives. Microwave tube technology is essential in communications, medicine, navigation, transportation and in the food industry. The purpose of this book is to record this remarkable story, and to answer the questions: How did the inventions occur? Who did it? Who were these guys? How did the businesses develop? Why did some companies fall by the boards while others flourished? And finally, what does the future hold for this technology?
