Mark -

FBTO comes up with 376 refs for Bill Orr, but none in CQ in the 50's.

It does however come up with two articles of "Improvements for the 
HQ-129X" in CQ, one in the April 1952 (no author attributed), and 
another in CQ for May 1959, again no author.  I  _may_  be able to find 
the issues, although since the move it's been a bit of a crapshoot!
