‘the internal situation in Italy had

His latest . favorite woman companion was identified as a preity young Rome aetress.

‘

Radar principles were first applied to-avia- " tion by RCA through equipment built and ' installed in its own plane in 1937, in connection with a study of collision prevention. 2

In1938, RCA built an experimental Radar installation for the U. S. Navy. As theresult ‘of tests, in October, 1939 the Navy placed with RCA its first order for service Radar equipment. Since then, vast strides in ‘the development of Radar in RCA Laboratogies

. have been made available to all branches of i“ : the industry producing Radar. 5

~ Radar is another achievement of the * radio-electron tube and the use of ultrahigh frequency waves, pioneered by RCA Laboratories. RCA looks forward to the time when its services as world headquarters for radio-electronic research can again be devoted to making the peacetime world a better place in which to live.
