The Radar Pages
Stumbled onto
this fascinating site through a link in an email...
It's a history of Radar development in England starting with the R.A.F. Chain Home system from the 1930's and closing with the systems used during cold-war era through the 1970's.
Lots of photos of the hardware, schematics of the transmitters and receivers.
The Links page is good with lots of other Radar and Communications history web sites.
One of these links:
Larry's Home Page deserves special mention -- it covers the history of the Distant Early Warning Line (DEW Line). This is a fascinating bit of North American history for those interested in the Cold War.
Fascinating stuff...
