A typed note at the front of the file states "The content of this file are of utmost historical interest being probably the only remaining source of information relating to the early use of the cavity magnetron, as opposed to the much published 'development' at Birmingham University. It is also probably the only source of information on the B.T.H. role in the development of the high power magnetron, high power modulators, and the GL111". |
