Sunday April 27th @ 2 PM the author of a new book "Crystal Clear" will give a lecture at InfoAge. Old-timers may remember the advent of single crystal control for ham rigs in the 30's and newbies will only be familiar with today's frequency synthesizers that can make an infinite number of frequencies from a single crystal; but in-between then and now was WWII & Korea when multi channel crystal controlled radios were vital to our national defense and this required the creation of an instant industry to produce hundreds of millions of precise crystals for frequency control. Hear how this was done and how a myriad of technical and production problems were solved. Anyone involved in the history of radio, military, ham or otherwise will find this lecture well worth while. Fort Monmouth was the center of much of this activity so it is local history as well. There is no admission charge and copies of the author signed book will be on sale. You should not miss this event.
