Jack tells me that during WWII when he was working in Chicago for the U.S. Navy he was assigned to a British ship, and also at one time to a submarine. (He says his mother complained that he had a British accent when he came home.) The British had developed radar and had given the information to the U.S. Jack was a specialist in radar. He claims that he had a special idea to combine radar with sonar so that submarines could communicate with the war office from 200 feet under water. The photo is one of Jack's along with writing on the back.
Sonar and Radar combined is Sodar with some fizz and a cherry on top. Seriously though, we're very proud of Jack's role in WWII and how it helped define his career in electronics.
