Before he came along, the field of electronics could only go so far because the only way to transmit and amplify electric impulses was through a vacuum tube, a large glass device, which was bulky, fragile, expensive, and used a lot of energy. Plus it took awhile for the filaments to heat up, so if you turned on a radio powered by a vacuum tube, you had to wait awhile for it to get up and running. 05/22/2010 00:00:00 Name: Jenn Hi..I am looking for anyone stationed in Okinawa at Kadena AFB in 1957-1958...In the ammo supply 546 ASSD...Any information please contact me a soon as possible...Thank you 05/21/2010 00:00:00 Name: Jerry Swanson For RAYMOND TATE regarding 799th at Joelton TN.
