90 ,RE TNANSACI'ONS ON ln etectronics, research aimed at winning this same war brought about radio broadcasting as we have long enjoyed it, at least ten )'ears before normal peacetirne practices would have made it available to the public. In fact, radio was so new in World War I that when the Germans cut all his telephone wires, one U. S. commander doubtingly radioed back to his headquarters, sI am entirely out of communications.' It was radar, now indispensable to all aviation, which also did so much to make the cathode-ray tube commercially practical as the picture screen of present-day television, while the sensitivity of our present-day TV cameras can be traced back, in part, to the late rvar days when (shot-up' bombers, good only for one last flight, were loaded with high explosives and, unmanned, flown through heavy flak into choice enemy targets where they were deliberately crashed with tremendous devastation-TV eyes and research substituting for the dreaded kamikaze in which the pilot also flew a terminal mission. Over the years, in much of its research, the Signal Corps has received generous support from American industry and educatiortal institutions. Almost every electronic industry, its photographic and meteorological counterparts, parts of the aviation complex, and over 100 colleges and universitie-all are a part of the story being told the force behind Signal research. A poet might well see this force as an ethereal substance rvhich hides behind every cloud and weather II II trl F ig. 1.
