Nostalgic and fascinating. Now 80 I grew up with all this kit. Spent an entire life working on electronics, wireless, radar and computers. I was around 5 when I first saw the home chain radars near Dover in the UK. Something with them stirred me into my future career.

Thanks so much for uploading this. I had taped it when aired on my regional PBS station back in 1991 or 92. I watched so many times the VHS tape basically became unplayable.

That was a truly great documentary! Thank You!

16:00 INVENTING not discovering.

My Dad told a story about the time his father took him with him to Iowa State University to talk to a Major about installing a secure line from the chemistry lab at Iowa State to the Fermi lab at Chicago. The Major got pissed and started yelling at Grandfather, whom was the Des Moines manager for Bell Telephone. My Father who ended up flying Sabre jets in the Korean war and was raised by a man who held power over the lives of hundreds of men's careers through the depression, asked the Major: "Who the hell do you think you are Buddy?" In 1939 the military had no status compared to 1945.

Enjoyed that, Thanks!

I have a complete maintenance manual (900+ pages) for the SCR 584 radar shown in the beginning. I'm looking for someplace to donate it to.
