RE: Dumont mono tube amp

Hi. Dumont Laboratories was one of the early forces in television that did not survive. Alan B. Dumont - experimenter/innovator - was first in
in developing reliable cathode ray tubes. Do some searches. His work
lead to the first oscilloscopes. Our family's first TV had a Dumont
square 21 inch picture tube. This was unusual in 1952 when most kinescopes had round faces. He also while working in the nascent tube
industry figured out how to keep quality high and production greatly
increased. I think he was working for the DeForest company at the time.
He early on recognized the old mechanical scanning disc TV machinery
was wrong headed and must be eclipsed by techniques of electronic
scanning. Lots of history. Very smart man. Have fun reading about him.
