We have some interesting Armstrong  correspondence here between  himself 
and  WW Salisbury.  He was using a tube called a 'Resnatron' (  yea we are 
looking  for  a whole one) that had been developed  by  Sloan to  pump 
cyclotrons, but famously used in a 50,000 watt German night  fighter RADAR jammers 
(code name TUBA) in the UK during WW2  ...   Anyway  Armstrong letter mainly 
dealt  with   parts   for the tube ( yea it was  a field re-buildable 
monster!....   THE  LAST LETTER IN THE FOLDER TO SETTLE A BILL WAS.....  FROM..... 
 THE ARMSTRONG ESTATE....  KIND OF HAUNTING  TO  LOOK AT   THIS  
DOCUMENT....

My  apologies to the Farnsworth family.  I did, in fact, confuse Mr.  
Armstrong’s tragic demise with Mr. Farnsworth who died naturally in 1971 in  Salt 
Lake City.  The only time Mr. Farnsworth was in NYC was to be on  “I’ve 
got a Secret” which I watched first run and may explain why my memory is  
starting to get befuddled!  He also lost the patent battle with  RCA.
