Re: EF50 the tube that helped to win the war
It is re-assuring to find a lot of others out there also interested in EF50/radar.
I do have E.G.(Taff) Bowen's book "Radar Days" - a very interesting personal account, well written and makes enjoyable reading. I am currently reading "Radar Reflections" by Michael Cumming. I really like reading about the WW2 science, especially concerning RAF and Radar. Although concerning the capture of German Radar, the Bruneval Raid is a great story. In fact, the basic story without embellishment would make a very good film, with an exciting climax. Anyone know a film producer??! Best wishes, Robin |

Re: EF50 the tube that helped to win the war
Yes - very interested in early radar, radionavigation, etc.
One interesting thing about the EF50 (thanks for posting the initial link btw!) is that it one of the first (if not the first) to have a specification on the noise equivalent resistance. 1400 ohms in the case of the EF50. Its notable that a number of other valves of the period, for instance the Acorn types, fail to have any specification on noise, even after the EF50 set the pace. Richard |
