[R-390] Re: 807 Anyone?

[Kavanagh, George]

I answer my own query:
It seems that he first canned beer was from the Gottfried Kreuger
Brewing Company, Newark, NJ, available to a test market on 1/24/1935
(see http://www.greenmon.com/first_beer_cans.htm).  

Thus canned beer preceeded the 807 by 2+ years

Sibley's "Tube Lore" lists the 807 as being introduced 10/37; ultimately
mfr by GE, Hytron, National Union, RCA, Raytheon, Westinghouse.  "Date
of release of final registration" is listed as 9-24-43.

When was canned beer introduced?

Larry,

That just begs the question "When was canned beer invented?". And I'm
not talking about 
the "can" you visit after you have had your way with a few 807s. That
should keep you 
Googlers busy for a few minutes <g>

Seriously (yeah right), when we say 807 are we talking about the
container or the contents?
