[Milsurplus] FWD from boatanchors

[Ray Chase]

Well not quite; Boonton Research was started in 1929 by Stuart Ballantine 
and then in 1935 changed its name to Ballantine Labs; famous for their line 
of true RMS AC voltmeters.  Stuart Ballantine previously served two stints 
at Radio Frequency Labs (RFL) in Boonton who were the predecessors of ARC 
around 1929-30.  Many famous names were involved in the fledgling early 
electronics industries in the Boonton, NJ area during the 20's and 30's. 
Boonton Research hardware is very scarce.
