OT - The Radar Museum, Neatishead, Norfolk
The Wanderer
Just spent a very interesting 3-4 hours there. Lots to see, and almost
certain to be of interest to many posters in this forum. Some very
knowledgeable volunteers there as well.
Cleared up one little thing that had always been beyond my limited
electronics theory from many years ago, pulse-echo time compared to speed
of rotation of the aerial.
Several rooms had that smell of bakelite and varnish used on old equipment,
R1154/R1155 anyone......

Did they have the feint smell of Jeyes used to sanitise the floors?

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

The 1154 was the transmitter of the pair thus T1154.

On a marginally related subject is a valve oscilloscope made by "Waveforms,
radar works" likely to be of interest to a collector?

Thought immediately I had posted - someone will think I meant RRE (Royal
Radar Establishment) - but at the time it was Travel Round England.
(Pretty good apologising for being OT in an OT thread. :-) )

maybe, but nevertheless it is there see
Bob Eager
Oh, I know that. Not the point, really.
DIYBanter is leeching off this newsgroup and making money out of us.
People using DIYBanter should realise that.

Why not auction it and see. Even old 2M valve scopes are still quite
usable as 2nd scopes for less demanding apps.
