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.
