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.
